The project’s main purpose was to raise students’ awareness on the use of English as a means of professional communication through team teaching. The general plan consisted of three different steps: it started with exposure to a chosen topic, the life cycle of business organizations (presented first by the content teacher in the mother tongue, and then in English by the foreign language practitioner), and finally through team-teaching with concurrent use of the L1 and L2.

The results showed an increase of proficiency in the target foreign language, as well as in the topic content and in oral skills.}, title = {An Interdisciplinary Module to teach English and Business Organization in a University-Level Vocational Course}, title = {Un módulo interdisciplinario para enseñar inglés y organización de empresas en un curso universitario de formación profesional}, doi = {10.5294/laclil.2011.4.1.4}, author = {Cianflone, Eugenio and Coppolino, Raffaella}, }
