Anne Kankaanranta
Senior University Lecturer, Organizational Communication
Person profile
My work as a Senior University Lecturer involves both teaching and research. My teaching focuses on organizational communication both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. In particular, the courses address the effects of the global operating environment on business professionals' communication at work. I also run workshops targeted at business students starting their Master's studies as well as those in the process of writing their MSc thesis.
My research interests include, for example:
- the concept of 'corporate language' and multilingualism in the workplace
- Englishization of global knowledge work from an individual's perspective
- the use of English as shared language in business (English as Business Lingua Franca, BELF)
- communicative competence of internationally operating professionals
- intercultural business communication
- email and electronic genres in the workplace
