Meeting Description:
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.
Call for Papers
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:
- English in specialized domains in ESL/EFL contexts
- English in the professions in multilingual & multicultural contexts
- ESP/EAP within a World Englishes paradigm
- Sociolinguistics of work
- Pedagogical innovations in ESP/EAP
- The Asian context: challenges and rewards
- EAP within academics, for academics, and by academics
- Identity and ELT
Abstracts for papers should be no more than 300 words in length, including
references. They may be in either English or Chinese. They may be submitted
via LinguistList, at http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/ESPinAsia2010, where
they will undergo a blind review process.
Proposals for workshops may also be made via LinguistList. Please include a
general overview of the topic and approach.
Inquiries may be sent to Benedict Lin, Douglas Bell, or Derek Irwin at
ESP.abstractsnottingham.edu.cn

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
