11th Latin American Colloquium of English for Specific Purposes 

1st Latin American Colloquium of Languages for Specific Purposes

 

9-13 November 

Universidad Los Andes

 

The first Latin American English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Colloquium, held in Sao Paulo (Brazil) in 1988, aimed at providing a forum for sharing teaching experience and research results in the fields of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and/or English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at secondary and university levels. 

 

Since then, similar colloquia have taken place in other Latin American countries, such as Chile (Santiago: 1990), Mexico (Mexico DF: 1992, 2004), Brazil again (Natal: 1994), Venezuela (Mérida: 1996), Colombia (Barranquilla: 2000) and Argentina (Catamarca in 1998, Salta en 2003, and Río Cuarto in 2007). It is thus the second time it will be held at the University of the Andes (Mérida, Venezuela). 

 

For the first time, though, this Colloquium is also called "1st Latin American Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) Colloquium" so as to represent and honor other languages taught for specific and/or academic purposes, such as Spanish, French, German, Italian, etc. We therefore encourage teachers/researchers to submit proposals dealing with research conducted not only on English for specific purposes but also on other languages for specific purposes, both in oral and written contexts.
