Middle managers targeted for second language training (Spanish) can be screened and educated more efficiently

Abstract

Given the continued globalization of industry, second language (L2) training is becoming more important. However, to assume that all managers who need L2 training are equally trainable or that all respond similarly to traditional L2 training techniques, can be costly errors of judgement. Attempts to address these issues using the results of a 1995 pilot NBA Spanish language training course for middle managers. Provides specific recommendations regarding these two important areas.
