Meeting Description:

This joint AELFE-TAPP Conference brings together the 19th annual conference of
AELFE (Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos/European
Association of Languages for Specific Purposes) and the 2nd Conference of the
Trans-Atlantic and Pacific Project (TAPP), a growing virtual exchange network
that has developed transnational collaborative projects on specialised
communication, translation and user experience. The combination of both
conferences will allow participants to link the fields of languages for
specific purposes (LSP) and telecollaboration/virtual exchange.

For the last two decades, the annual AELFE Conference has been a meeting point
for scholars interested in academic and professional communication from a
multidisciplinary perspective.

The first TAPP conference was held in Fargo (ND, USA) in 2016, under the theme
“Converging fields”. This second edition, “Expanding networks”, will explore
virtual exchange from the perspective of its consolidation and will provide a
forum for researchers and practitioners from different networks to share their
experience and insights.

The topic of the AELFE- TAPP 2020 Conference will be: ''Multilingual Academic
and Professional Communication in a Networked World''

In a networked era, we are faced with the challenges of faster and more
complex communication involving a variety of languages, participants and
modes. Academic and professional communication also poses challenges related
to disciplinary literacies and interdisciplinary collaboration. As higher
education is undergoing a process of increasing internationalization, through
English-medium instruction (EMI) and internationalization at home and abroad,
what is the role of LSP teaching and research? How can academics expand their
international and multidisciplinary networks? How can educators best prepare
future graduates for complex multilingual and multicultural work and study
environments?

With an emphasis on the demands of international academic and professional
language use as well as on the opportunities afforded by technology for
collaboration and intercultural communication, the AELFE-TAPP 2020 Conference
will provide scholars with the opportunity to discuss advances in academic and
professional communication as well as in virtual exchange.

Together with an inspiring academic programme, participants will also enjoy a
social programme in a privileged location, Vilanova i la Geltrú (Barcelona),
which will offer participants plenty of opportunities to strengthen their
academic and social networks.
