SUMMARY:Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association Conference
DESCRIPTION:Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association- Hong Kong \n8th International Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association on the theme of “Collaboration\, Innovation\, and Impact: Bridging Academic and Professional Worlds”\, to be held in person from 11th to 13th December 2025\, hosted by the Department of English at City University of Hong Kong\, Hong Kong SAR. \nThe conference theme reflects the growing complexity in the social context of Languages for Specific Purposes and Professional Communication practices. Developments in technology\, including the recent rise of generative artificial intelligence and more long-standing ubiquity of social media communications\, continue to have a profound effect on the communication practices of academics and professionals alike. At the same time\, society is increasingly faced with a range of “wicked problems” that demand collaborative and innovative responses from stakeholders in the academy\, the professions\, and in industry. Issues of communication frequently play an important role in determining whether effective solutions can be found\, and\, to engage with these issues\, collaboration and innovation is essential. Against this backdrop\, this conference aims to provide a platform for academics\, students\, industry partners\, and institutions to discuss changing professional communication practices\, identify synergies\, and facilitate the collaboration and innovation needed to generate impact. \nConfirmed Plenary Speakers:\nProf. Averil Coxhead\, Victoria University of Wellington\nProf. Christoph A. Hafner\, City University of Hong Kong\nProf. Sylvia Jaworska\, University of Reading\nProf. Matthew S.
