Call for papers

ESP Seminar No. 2 TEACHING PRACTICES IN ESP TODAY

Seminar scope
For over thirty years, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has been defined by various authors as a learning-centred approach to language teaching where the goal of the learners is to use English in a particular domain (Hutchinson & Waters, 1987; Paltridge & Starfield, 2013). Yet, ESP teaching practices remain extremely varied depending on practitioners, institutions and countries. This seminar focuses on today’s diversity of ESP teaching and learning in Europe and further afield. However, beyond the richness of pedagogical varieties, it also raises the question of the theoretical foundations of ESP practices and, as such, welcomes papers on all aspects and issues of ESP didactics.

Abstract submission and deadlines

Participants are invited to submit a 200-word abstract of their proposed papers directly to all four convenors of the seminar before 28 February 2016. They will be informed of the convenors’ decision by 31 March 2016.
