Présentation : 

Language diversity is an inherent part of international collaboration. Understanding language dynamics in organizations and how managerial actions can influence them is a key competence for actors looking to contribute to international projects and business, whether it be for multinationals, small and medium-sized companies or in the non-profit or public sectors. This course offers an opportunity to study language-sensitive management at the interpersonal, team, organizational, and societal levels with both lecture and interactive activities, based on the state-of-the-art in language management research. We will look at key issues involving language choice, communication effectiveness, power dynamics, trust, and compliance with national legal frameworks. Through this course, students will hone their abilities to understand multi-level language dynamics and adopt language strategies to support effective collaboration, a key element for inclusive and responsible leadership.
