To say that English has become an integral part of professional and academic contexts is as much of a cliche as it is an understatement. Let us then dig beyond these simplifications and discuss the many fascinating ways in which this language shapes the academia and professional world while being simultaneously shaped by its users of various backgrounds as they go about their daily business in these spheres.
Key themes for the papers and posters in the individual sections include:
- new as well as well-established genres
- intercultural communication
- code-mixing and code-switching
- pedagogical implications and best practices
and many more. See our topic areas for further information.
Topics:
- Didactics of English for Specific Purposes
- Linguistics with Special Focus on ESP
- Global Perspectives in Cultural Studies and Intercultural Communication
