ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (ESP) CONFERENCE

We are pleased to announce that online registration is now open for the 2ND ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (ESP) CONFERENCE at the Hochschule (University of Applied Sciences) in Ulm, Germany on 26 September 2009.

Do you teach specialist English? Would you like to know what's new in your field? Have you thought of moving into specialist English teaching but are not sure how to or whether it is right for you?

This all day conference is aimed at teachers and trainers who already teach ESP or are thinking of expanding their knowledge and moving into specific areas of teaching.

This year we are offering a choice of 30 different professional workshops, presentations and company talks on topics such as law, medicine, the automotive industry, technical English, aviation, finance, law enforcement, telecommunication, and human resources as well as workshops addressing the skills and techniques required to teach ESP. The speakers are all experts in their fields and are coming from countries as far flung as France, Switzerland, Romania, England and the USA, as well as Germany.

There will also be presentations and exhibition stands from the key providers of English language teaching publications enabling you to get personal advice about the best course and examination materials for your lessons and training sessions.

The number of delegates will be restricted so register early to ensure your place and take advantage of the early-bird fee.

Can you afford not to specialise?
