Date: 09/03/2020

In this research presentation Pia Tenedero, Macquarie University, shows how universities in the Philippines prepare accounting students for communication in global workplaces. Using ethnographic data, she explores language practices and ideologies of policy makers, teachers, and students by investigating how the notion of “effective communication” is framed in accountancy program documents and enacted in classroom interactions.  

This presentation was originally intended for the Georgetown University Roundtable (GURT) 2020 in Washington, D.C., which had to be cancelled due to international travel bans as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19.
