Meeting Description:

Following the success of the 1st ESP in Asia Conference held at Chongqing 
University, China, in October 2009, we are pleased to announce that the 2nd 
ESP in Asia Conference will be held at the University of Nottingham Ningbo 
China, from 11th to 13th November 2010. 

The theme of the conference is 'Engaging Ecologies, Evolving 
Empowerment'. As ESP grows in Asia, it needs to evolve practices that 
engage the ecologies in which it operates. Such ecologies include, on the one 
hand, sociolinguistic realities such as multilingualism and variation in global 
English(es), and, on the other hand, variable professional and academic 
cultures and practices in Asia. The conference theme seeks to capture the 
notion that through engaging these ecologies, ESP may evolve more 
empowering paradigms, both for individuals and for institutions. 

Call for Papers

We invite papers and workshop proposals on all aspects of ESP, from 
researchers, teachers, training consultants and industry professionals. In line 
with the theme, we would particularly encourage papers on the following:

- English in specialized domains in ESL/EFL contexts
- English in the professions in multilingual & multicultural contexts
- ESP/EAP within a World Englishes paradigm
- Sociolinguistics of work
- Pedagogical innovations in ESP/EAP
- The Asian context: challenges and rewards
- EAP within academics, for academics, and by academics
- Identity and ELT

Abstracts for papers should be no more than 300 words in length, including 
references.  They may be in either English or Chinese.  They should be 
submitted via LinguistList, at:

http://linguistlist.org/confcustom/ESPinAsia2010

where they will have a blind review process. 

Proposals for workshops may also be made via LinguistList.  Please include 
a general overview of the topic and approach.
