Meeting Description:

This conference is organized by the Institute of English Studies in the
University of Social Sciences in Warsaw and will take place on 29-30
September, 2016.

The purpose of this conference is to re-visit and re-appraise the key
assumptions behind traditional models of academic and workplace communication.
Are today’s new realities leading to the emergence of new styles of
communication, patterns of social interaction and types of social positioning
calling for a redefinition of identity in academic and workplace environments?
What consequences does this imply for research and specialized educational
programmes?

The conference aims to bring together scholars interested in investigating the
changing contexts of academic and workplace environments and the implications
these changes have for research and specialized language provision, with
particular reference to the fields of ESP, identity studies, intercultural
studies and English as a lingua franca.

The language of the conference will be English.

Confirmed Speakers:

- Professor Adrian Holliday, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK 
- Professor Aleksander Szwedek, University of Social Sciences, Warsaw, Poland

Conference Goals: 

- To foster interdisciplinary dialogue for developing approaches to complex
problems of communication across disciplines, workplaces and cultures
- To investigate how academic processes and methodologies can best serve
global issues of workplace practices and interculturality
- To integrate research perspectives and practice in the fields of
cross-cultural and disciplinary competencies
- To investigate the effects of globalisation on issues such as multiple
identities, multilingualism in academic and workplace contexts and English as
a lingua franca
