CALL FOR PAPERS:
Following the success of the 1st ESP in Asia Conference held at Chongqing University, China, in October 2009, we are pleased to announce that the 2nd ESP in Asia Conference will be held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China, from 11th to 13th November 2010. The theme of the conference is ‘Engaging Ecologies, Evolving Empowerment’.
As ESP grows in Asia, it needs to evolve practices that engage the ecologies in which it operates. Such ecologies include, on the one hand, sociolinguistic realities such as multilingualism and variation in global English(es), and, on the other hand, variable professional and academic cultures and practices in Asia. The conference theme seeks to capture the notion that through engaging these ecologies, ESP may evolve more empowering paradigms, both for individuals and for institutions.
We invite papers and workshop proposals on all aspects of ESP, from researchers, teachers, training consultants and industry professionals. In line with the theme, we would particularly encourage papers on the following:
Proposals for workshops may also be made via LinguistList. Please include a general overview of the topic and approach.
The deadline for submission is 15 July 2010.
Inquiries may be sent to Benedict Lin, Douglas Bell, or Derek Irwin at
