Final Call for Papers
The Foreign Language and Literature Association of Serbia, the Language for Specific Purposes Special Interest Group and the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade invite you to the 6th International Conference
LANGUAGE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES: APPROACHES AND STRATEGIES
26–27 September 2024, Belgrade, Serbia
Conference venue: Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, 18–20 Čika Ljubina Street, Belgrade
The complex phenomenon of language for specific purposes (LSP) does not cease to fascinate, even after decades of study. New technologies, such as artificial intelligence, as well as the growing need for the interdisciplinary approach, have contributed to the expansion, and thus, further complexification of this field of study. Contemporary approaches and strategies in this branch of applied linguistics no longer solely refer to the struggle for the recognition of the existence of this linguistic variety, but are directed towards deeper theoretical reflection, as well as practical action, in all domains and at all levels of LSP study, be it for academic, scientific or professional purposes. We like to believe that scientific papers, research and activities that have been presented in the previous five conferences organized by the Language for Specific Purposes Special Interest Group of the Foreign Language and Literature Association of Serbia, have contributed to this. Hence, our sixth international LSP conference aims to carry on the tradition started out with its first edition in the early 2008 and enable the exchange of views, ideas and results in this multidisciplinary field of research. Linguistic experts will gather in Belgrade to share their insights into the latest developments in this dynamic field with respect to the following LSP areas:
• terminology
• terminography and lexicography
• language teaching methodology
• curriculum, syllabus and learning materials design
• assessment and evaluation
• teacher roles and competencies
• multimodal texts
• translation studies and interpreting
• language policy
• intercultural studies: cultures, ethics, identity, society
• LSP in the digital era
