Go Beyond: Go Beyond with Compliance TrainingNaba Ahmed
There are few words that will make corporate learners tune you out more quickly than "compliance” or “mandatory." Justin Muscolino, Head of North America Compliance Training for GRC Solutions, believes that compliance training can be engaging, interesting, and yes, sometimes fun - and he has the experience to back up that claim.

What’s Your
Language Strategy?
It should bind your company’s global talent management and vision.

ARTWORK Tomás Saraceno, Cloudy Dunes. When
Friedman meets Bucky on Air-Port-City, 2006Spotlight
LANGUAGE PERVADES EVERY ASPECT of organizational
life. It touches everything. Yet remarkably, leaders of
global organizations, whose employees speak a mul-
titude of languages, often pay too little attention to it
in their approach to talent management. As we have
observed in countless organizations, unrestricted
multilingualism creates inefficiency in even the
most dedicated and talented workforces. It can lead
to friction in cross-border interactions, lost sales,
and a host of other serious problems that may jeop-
ardize competitiveness (see also “Global Business
Speaks English,” by Tsedal Neeley, HBR May 2012).
Developing a comprehensive strategy for managing
language can help transform that vulnerability into
a source of competitive advantage.
Choosing a lingua franca, or common language,
can dramatically improve how employees collabo-
rate across borders—even though it also introduces
new challenges. For one thing, the decision to adopt
a lingua franca must be balanced with the need to
speak local languages and adapt to local cultures. For
another, individuals’ proficiency (or lack thereof) in
the common language can cloud leaders’ judgment
about how suitable those people are for specific as-
signments and promotions. Decision makers may
undervalue or overvalue language skills and there-
fore misjudge talent.
We have learned through more than a decade of
Tsedal Neeley’s research on language in global or-
ganizations and teams, and more than 20 years of
Robert Kaplan’s leadership of global organizations,
that language strategy is critical for global talent
management. As a leader, you can factor language
and cultural skills more deliberately into the hiring,
training, assessment, and promotion of talent—and
into the management of global teams—whether PH

or not your company adopts a shared language. Of
course, in a global firm, choices and tactics will vary
somewhat according to the needs of each unit and
region. But those differences must exist within a
cohesive system that allows employees to function
effectively across the organization and achieve key
strategic priorities.
Indeed, your language strategy must fit with
your firm’s value proposition to customers if you
hope to penetrate various markets and coordinate
among them. You need to consider how to infuse
language into your core talent practices in order to
deliver that value.

When seeking superb job candidates, recruiters at
global companies must be aware of potential blind

Global organizations are recognizing the massive cost of employee turnover. L&D leaders are, in turn, investing more in employee development to drive increases in employee engagement and retention. From implementing English language training for hourly workers, or advanced English for limited English proficiency (LEP) employees looking to advance in a business setting, to offering world language training for global managers, L&D leaders are offering language learning to increase engagement and retain colleagues.
A recent Rosetta Stone study reports that 80% of employees who participated in language training felt more positively towards their employer, and 66% felt more engaged with their work. In some organizations, employers have been able to attribute a 19% reduction in employee turnover to language learning. Join this webinar to see how this could look within your organization.

World of Learning 2014 Closing Keynote: Linking Learning to BusinessLaura Overton
Laura Overton provided the closing keynote at World of Learning 2014 (Birmingham, UK), sharing why it's important to prioritise the alignment of learning to business needs instead of focusing on the latest fads and technologies.
In a diverse workplace, the workforce is made up of individuals with different nationalities, races, ages, genders, and even abilities. While this may seem like a very complicated setup or situation to work in, companies that go for diversity are often the ones who are more productive and have employees that are inspired and satisfied.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Biggest Mistakes in
Language Training9
2. Having been in the language training business
for over 45 years, we’ve seen companies make
the same mistakes over and over again when
it comes to implementing a language training program.
We don’t want you to make the same mistakes.
So let’s look at how NOT to do it.
Been there, seen that.
3. There are many ways
to get it wrong.
We’ve seen too many English language initiatives go off the rails.
Here are nine of the most common mistakes…
4. 1
A common mistake is to start a language training
program without clear goals.
These are all different goals that fall under the same
‘English training’ heading, but each one would lead to
very different programs and each one would have its
own metrics to track success.
Start with goals first – it’s the only way to stay on track.
No aim, no blame.
1
Do you want to improve your sales team’s ability to negotiate?
Empower your scientists to publish international papers?
Get your economists to read the financial press?
Teach your customer service reps to treat people like VIPs?
Action
5. Strategic initiatives succeed when they come
with top-level endorsement, however too many
companies keep their language training under
the management radar and off the boardroom
agenda. That’s a mistake.
Staying under the radar.
2
Position your English training program as a strategic
initiative, not a low-level tactical exercise. If the
leadership team wants the stated outcomes, they’ll value
your approach and give it their full support.
Action
2
6. Start your learning programs with assessments of each
learner’s current skills. Taking someone from proficiency
level 3 to 5 is very different from taking someone from
1 to 4. Find out where everyone is today.
Action
3
Many of your learners may already have some English skills.
Some will be almost fluent, only needing a bit of practice.
Others will be starting from the very beginning.
But most language programs assume that everyone
is starting from zero. That means the more advanced
people become bored and frustrated.
Assuming everyone is
at the same starting line.
3
7. Your learners need to know they’re building relevant
skills. Make your programs flexible enough to focus the
training where it’s needed for each learner.
Action
Teaching everyone the same skills.
4
A common mistake is to start a language training program
without clear goals.
Unfortunately, many English development programs
teach the same skills to everyone. This ‘one size fits all’
approach actually suits nobody.
A salesperson may need to improve writing and speaking skills.
A senior executive may need to negotiate and present confidently.
A factory head may need to focus on reading technical papers.
An engineer may need to learn specialist vocabulary.
4
8. Build motivation, reward and recognition into your
English training programs – you’ll get there much faster.
Action
5
Motivation is the secret ingredient of all learning –
especially language learning.
But too many companies ignore the motivational aspect,
expecting the learners to set their own targets and monitor
their own progress. This only works for the most motivated
learners – maybe the top one percent.
Taking motivation for granted.

9. Pick & mix is great for selecting sweets but it’s a dangerous
strategy when it comes to training.
If you let your people choose their own local language school
or give local offices a budget and hope they get it right…
chances are very high that they won’t.
Results in English training vary widely. The same amount
of time spent in one program can deliver half the results
of another.
A pick & mix approach.
6
Think about your language training strategically and
centrally. Deliver a uniformly high-quality learning
experience instead of dozens of mediocre courses.

10. Simply buying software licenses and sending the CDs
to everyone whose skills you want to improve is
the fastest route to frustration.
Software and technology can play a role in any English
language program but software alone never taught
anyone anything.
Throwing software at the problem.
7
Choose the best technology platform you can find but
don’t leave everything to technology.
Make sure real teachers are incorporated to help deliver
the learning experience. Ideally they should be available
whenever and wherever the learner needs them
(that’s where technology can help).

11. You need to track the participation and the actual
progress of each learner so you can determine the
success and return on investment of the entire program.
Action
With any other investment, businesses would set
performance targets and track progress.
But with English learning, far too many companies
and public sector departments leave the progress
to chance.
Pay and pray.
8
8
12. English skills are far too important to take
an amateur approach. You need to focus on what you
do best and bring in the experts to accelerate your
English skills development.
Action
9
The biggest mistake of all is trying to approach
the specialist challenge of English language training
by using generic, in-company training practices.
Over $35 billion a year is spent in this way and the return
on investment (if anyone measures it) is far below what
companies would achieve by turning to the specialists.
It’s expensive. It’s inflexible. And it’s far less effective.
Doing it yourself.
9
13. The mistakes summarised here may seem obvious to you.
But most companies still make most of them
– which seriously inhibits their progress.
The alternative to this un-measured, poorly managed process
is something we call Strategic English.
It’s all about targeting your English language investment to your
specific needs –- then actively managing and tracking success
instead of leaving it to chance.
(That’s exactly what we do for hundreds of fast-growing
international companies.)
Starting to see
what Strategic English looks like?
14. Strategic English means
treating English language development
as a key driver of success
– then managing and measuring it accordingly.
As an HR professional or executive leader responsible
for the success of your people…
It’s time to get Strategic.
