Abstract
Since Britain joined the European Community, there has been growing recognition of the importance of foreign‐language training to help companies make a success of their closer links with Europe. But many British businesses appear to be under‐prepared. Reports on a survey of what 435 universities and colleges across Britain are doing to rectify the situation. The institutions offer business language training in almost 70 languages and a wide range of specialisms. Also provides a checklist, drawn up by the Association of Language Export Centres, which should help businesses to ensure that they get quality language training.
