Intercultural Communication
One of the jobs I do fairly regularly is observe trainers in action, and one thing I've noticed time and time again is that although the class is having fun and appears to be happy with what the trainer is doing, no-one seems to be questioning whether or not the training is really going to help them in the real world. Many learners seem to pass responsibility for what happens in the classroom to the trainer, who "knows best", and whose main job it seems is to keep everyone entertained, while at the same time organising activities which seem to be about "business English". Now there might be very good reasons for this.
