Conversations About Belf

Welcome to our blog about BELF (bit.ly/belfsite) This group was set up by four business English teachers from very different contexts – Evan Frendo (Berlin, Germany), Hellen Haga (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Katrin Lichterfeld (Dortmund, Germany) & Virginia López Grisolía (Buenos Aires, Argentina, and later it was joined by Lucas Peltonen (Hong Kong). We all shared a concern that a lot of the discussion about BELF (e.g. articles, presentations, events) is difficult or even impossible to access. Our aims Sharing links and resources on our website bit.ly/belfsite Promoting live events Encouraging conversations about BELF research and its impact on language teaching and learning in a business context Our target group Anyone interested in English as a Business Lingua Franca (BELF) and its implications on language teaching and learning in a business context.
