with the Embassy of Spain, and other institutions is
organizing a conference to make all text books for teaching

business available to K-12 teachers. Through our partners
the conference will bring editorial companies from different
parts of the world to Miami to showcase the materials to
K-12 teachers of all around the US. There will be travel
grants available for K-12 teachers. FIU-CIBER language
coordinator, Dr. Maida Watson, created a list of the latest
editions of Spanish for Business text books available to the
public. She distributed the list to all participants of our
Faculty Development program "Teaching Spanish for Business
