in a language requires the completion of 6 language stages each one demanding
approximately 90 hours of refresher course, supported by many more hours of self-study,
spread over a 6-9 month period. The completion of each stage is marked by a post-stage
achievement test, which is a pre-requisite for continued training. So even this professionally
managed program expects a minimum of three years of fairly intensive study to produce an
accountant. Engineer, buyer or salesperson capable of working effectively in a foreign
language. Clearly companies intending to pursue this route need to do so with realistic
expectations and with the intention of sustaining the program over many years. Except in terms
of —brush-up! courses for people who were previously fluent in a foreign language, training
cannot be considered a quick fix and hence other methods will have to be considered.
