Meeting Description:

Globalization has strongly impacted professional communication. In this
regard, English as a lingua franca (ELF) constitutes an essential resource in
the multilingual repertoires of various professionals. It can be considered an
asset that enables intercultural contact - and, on the best case scenario,
intercultural understanding. Still, this common resource can also pose several
difficulties arising from practitioners’ different competences or
intercultural misunderstandings at a conceptual level. Also, the contexts of
use may be challenging for workers who may be forced to step out of their
comfort zones and develop new repertoires, including drawing upon multimodal
resources in meaning-making. This symposium aims at investigating both how
English used as a lingua franca contributes to successful communication in
various professional contexts and how it challenges interactants’ emerging
common ground. Therefore, we welcome contributions featuring empirical or
theoretical studies and methodological accounts that shed light on the use of
English as a lingua franca in professional communication and contribute to our
understanding of English in its various manifestations in the era of
globalization. We particularly welcome novel approaches to the study of
English as a lingua franca at work.
