At the symposium, we will explore the evolving role of Languages for
Specific Purposes (LSP) education in contemporary society and share
experiences based on research and practice. The symposium will address
the impact of technological and societal changes on LSP education, the
growing role of artificial intelligence in professional and
educational contexts, and innovations in teaching, assessment, and
curriculum development.
The symposium will be held in a hybrid format, allowing participants
to attend either on-site or online. A participation link will be sent
by email to online participants.
Keynote Speakers:
 - Cédric Sarré, Professor of Applied Linguistics, Sorbonne
University. As a member of various research teams, his focus is on the
future pathways in language course development in online settings, the
integration of technology in language learning and teaching, English
for Specific Purposes and teacher education.
 - Jaanika Jaanits, Junior Research Fellow, University of Tartu. An
anthropologist driven by the development of organisations and people,
change management, and various aspects of learning, communities and
engagement.
The detailed programme, including information about speakers and
workshops, will be available on the symposium website from 24 August
2026.
Registration and payment of the participation fee will open on 24
August and close on 20 October.
