Foreign Language Training
[separator type=’normal’ color=’#69b200′ thickness=’2′ up=’10’ down=’10’]
In a country like India and an institute like IBA (which is popularly called as mini-‘Indiapura’ because of students from all the communities, backgrounds and almost all states), multilingual experience is the norm and learning new languages is often an unconscious process. The Foreign Language Training at IBA provides an option to choose any one of the foreign language (German, French, etc.) and offers a platform to the students in sensitizing themselves to languages used world over. The programme is a result of the combined efforts of a set of highly motivated teachers and successive batches of students who, despite a demanding academic schedule, show a keen interest in enriching their multilingual repertoire. Many of our students opt for the foreign language experience as it prepares them for professional interactions with users of these languages the world over both in corporate and academic settings and a sizeable proportion of students get jobs with Multi-National Companies which helps them to succeed in these environments.
