SUMMARY:Research Funding: Business language research and teaching awards
DESCRIPTION:Business language research and teaching awards\n\nThe Business Language Research and Teaching grants were established in 2010 by a consortium of 13 Centers for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) who pledged a portion of their Title VI funding from the US Department of Education to encourage faculty and graduate students in foreign language departments to add a business-language dimension to their teaching and research. During the 2022–2026 grant cycle\, all 16 CIBERs have continued support of this important initiative with competitions scheduled in 2023 and 2025. \nIn 2025\, two $4\,000 and one $5\,000 awards will be awarded to research or teaching projects in foreign languages (excluding ESL and ASL). The 2025 BLRT recipients will present their research findings at the spring 2026 International Symposium on Language for Specific Purposes to be hosted by Wake Forest University. Recipients will also receive a travel stipend of up to $1\,000 to cover costs associated with presenting at this conference. Recipients will also contribute a write-up on their BLRT project for publication in the Global Business Language Journal. \n\n\nProposal Submission\nAll proposals must be submitted via the online portal by January 20\, 2025

SUMMARY:IV Jornadas de Español para Fines Específicos de Vienna (JEFE - Vi) / Fourth Annual Conference on Spanish for Specific Purposes in Vienna (IV JEFE -Vi)
DESCRIPTION:The Conference on Spanish for Specific Purposes in Vienna (JEFE-Vi)  aims to be a meeting and exchange place for all those who are dedicated to research and teaching in this field. Through presentations on theoretical reflections\, empirical results or didactic experiences\, they aim to supplement both the professional development of teachers and the establishment of contacts between different institutions at an international level. The organizers of JEFE-Vi take into consideration the fact that the plurality of perspectives and methods\, as well as the diversity of opinions\, are essential to ensuring the advancement of this discipline both theoretically and in its practical application. The Conference is organized by the Vienna University of Economics and Business Sciences (WU)\, the Swiss and Austrian Ministry of Education and the Austrian Association of Teachers of Spanish (AAPE). \nThe  Fourth Conference on Spanish for Specific Purposes in Vienna (IV JEFE-Vi)  will take place on May 5 and 6\, 2023  at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Sciences. The conference program will be available in early 2023 here . \n\n\n\n\n\n\nScientific Committee\nAndreína Adelstein (National University of General Sarmiento\, Buenos Aires)\nBelén Álvarez García (Ministry of Education of Switzerland and Austria)\nMaría García Antuña (CIESE University Center\, Comillas)\nJordi Martí Pidelaserra (University of Barcelona)\nFranz Rainer (Vienna University of Economics and Business)\nJohannes Schnitzer (Vienna University of Economics and Business)\nLieve Vangehuchten (University of Antwerp) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizing Committee\nEva Díaz García (Vienna University of Economics and Business)\nJuan Manuel Fernández-Mayoralas Palomeque (Swiss and Austrian Ministry of Education)\nAna García Esteban (Vienna University of Economics and Business)\nCarlos Rocha Ochoa (Vienna University of Economics and Business)\nBrigitte Schatzl (Vienna University of Economics and Business)\nRemedios Veiga Gómez (Austrian Association of Teachers of Spanish)

SUMMARY:Second Language Multimodal Literacies (L2ML) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, studies of multimodal communication and composition from education\, literacy studies\, and applied linguistics have fueled intense discussions about the place of non-verbal modes in the historically lingua-centric field of second language teaching and learning. These conversations and the research that supports them have been motivated by innovations in digital technologies\, which encourage and enable the ready use of images\, videos\, and sounds in everyday acts of communication (e.g.\, Lankshear & Knobel\, 2006; Lotherington & Jenson\, 2011); but interest in second language multimodal literacies has also found theoretical buttressing in recent work in applied linguistics where language is conceptualized within a broader semiotic repertoire for meaning making (e.g.\, Busch\, 2012; Li\, 2017). Increasingly\, there is a shared understanding that “In a profound sense\, all meaning-making is multimodal” (New London Group\, 1996\, p. 81). However\, there continues to be a need for research on the multimodal practices of multilingual speakers\, and for the development of research-based practices for educators to integrate and assess multimodality into their language classes. \nBuilding on the Digital Literacies Project and the associated Second Language Digital Literacies Symposium (L2DL) hosted by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture\, Language and Literacy (CERCLL)\, the L2ML symposium will bring together educators\, practitioners\, and researchers\, who share common interests in exploring the role of multimodality in contexts of second or multiple language and culture learning. This free\, two-day virtual event will include a series of digital presentations and discussions\, including three invited talks by experts in the fields of multimodal language and literacy education. The symposium will culminate in a panel discussion\, where participants will consider future directions for multimodal scholarship and pedagogical practice in second language and multilingualism studies. \n  \nInvited speakers include: \n\nDr. Denise Newfield (University of the Witwatersrand\, South Africa)\n\nPresentation title: Poetry\, Performance and Making in Second Language Learning\n\n\nDr. Ana Oskoz (University of Maryland Baltimore County\, USA)\n\nPresentation title: Second Language Digital Literacies in a Multilingual\, Multimodal World\n\n\nDr. Jennifer Rowsell (University of Sheffield\, United Kingdom)\n\nPresentation title: The Comfort of Screens: Living and Learning with Multiple Languages on Screens\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:44th Groupe d'Etude et de Recherche en Anglais de Spécialité (GERAS) Conference: Cultures\, memories and legacies in specialized English
DESCRIPTION:The 44th international GERAS colloquium\, organized at ENS Paris-Saclay on March 23\, 24 and 25\, 2023\, will focus on cultures\, memories\, and legacies in specialized English. \nThe specialization of the English language can be thought of as a phenomenon that is at once cultural\, memorial and heritage: using specialized varieties of English is in fact showing one’s adherence to certain specific cultural patterns\, it is displaying one’s belonging to professional or disciplinary discursive communities whose traditions oblige you\, it is to reproduce in the language the legacies that frame and guide our choices. Gradually mastering the codes and conventions of these specialized varieties of English\, through formal or informal learning\, means entering a culture specific to specialized communities \, embracing a memory\, extending and bringing to life linguistic and behavioral legacies. By the notion of habitus\, Pierre Bourdieu (1980: 91) has in fact taught us that we are constantly subject to the influence of a “collective memory reproducing in the successors the achievements of the predecessors”. Thus\, the observable traces of cultures\, memories and heritages in the English language reflect the fact that specialization is above all a community and collective phenomenon \, which brings together certain human communities\, formed around particular social functions\, around convergent language choices.

SUMMARY:Call for Papers: Joint AELFE-LSPPC International Conference
DESCRIPTION:This joint international conference brings together the 21st annual conference of the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE2023) and the 7th Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association (LSPPC7). Both associations promote the use of languages for specific purposes and professional communication. The main goal of this joint conference is to create a meeting point for scholars (researchers and practitioners) and allow them to discuss and exchange their views on the conference theme with participants from different world regions and do so from multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives. \nThe Association’s 2023 conference (LSPPC7) will be organized by the University of Zaragoza\, Spain as a joint conference with the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE). Here are a few specifics (much more information is available on the conference website: https://aelfe-lsppcconference2023.com/): \n\nDates: June 28-30\, 2023\nVenue: Zaragoza\, Spain\nDeadline for abstracts: January 15\, 2023\n\nCall for papers \nIn a networked era\, we are witnessing rapidly changing\, web-mediated communication practices involving a variety of communicative purposes\, audiences\, modes and media. Emerging trends in disciplinary knowledge communication such as the Open Science paradigm attest to this fact. Academic and professional communication today thus poses important theoretical\, methodological and pedagogical challenges that need addressing. Some of the questions that we aim to address are: What is the role of LSP teaching and research in an increasingly interconnected world? What methods and frameworks are suitable to investigate multilingual and multimodal communication online? How can practitioners support emerging digital communication needs in the professions? How can they best prepare future graduates and professionals to disseminate their work in digital environments?\, and how can LSP research and practice help them develop the necessary literacies (academic\, plurilingual and digital literacies)? \nWe have a terrific line-up of plenary and featured speakers\, including: \n\nChristine B. Feak (University of Michigan\, US)\nEric Friginal (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University)\nLaura M. Muresan (Bucharest University of Economic Studies\, Romania)\nChristine Tardy (Northern Arizona University\, US)\nVijay Bhatia (The Chinese University of Hong Kong)\nJohn Swales (University of Michigan\, US)\n\nThis joint international conference brings together the 21st annual conference of the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes (AELFE2023) and the 7th Conference of the Asia-Pacific LSP & Professional Communication Association (LSPPC7). Both associations promote the use of languages for specific purposes and professional communication. The main goal of this joint conference is to create a meeting point for scholars (researchers and practitioners) and allow them to discuss and exchange their views on the conference theme with participants from different world regions and do so from multi- and inter-disciplinary perspectives.

areas\n\nHow to characterize the cultures – considered as complex systems of values\, norms and representations ( Cuche 2004) – of English-speaking circles and specialized fields? Are these cultures at the origin of specific social or linguistic styles? What are the most appropriate conceptual frameworks to describe these cultural phenomena in specialized English? What are the inner workings of the interaction between language\, culture and memory in specialized English?\nAre English-speaking specialist circles and domains endowed with “collective memories”\, in the sense understood by the great sociologist Maurice Halbwachs in his work Les cadre sociale de la mémoire (1925)? What would be the language manifestations of these memories in specialized texts and discourses\, and how to grasp them as a scientific object in specialized English?\nAre ethnographic approaches in specialized English (Wozniak 2019) able to grasp the constituent elements and symbolic systems of human groups assembled around a common social function \, namely their “common ancestry\, real or supposed\, [the ] memories of a shared historical past\, [their] cultural focus on one or more symbolic elements defined as the embodiment of their collectivity” (Schermerhorn 1970: 12)?\n\n\nDiscourse Analysis\, Specialized Genres\, Professional Substrate Fiction (FASP )\n\nWhat would be the contours and lineaments of cultural and memorial elements in specialized discourses and genres? How do they manifest themselves concretely in the language\, style and rhetorical organization of the texts? How do they apply\, with a more or less pronounced degree of constraint\, older models\, potentially constituted as stylistic legacies?\nAre the notions of “discursive memory” (Courtine 1981)\, “interdiscursive memory” (Moirand 1999\, 2007) or even “prediscourse” (Paveau 2006\, 2008) relevant for characterizing specialized discourses and genres?\nWith regard to specialized genres\, should we pose with Jean Paul Bronckart (2004: 82) the hypothesis of the “pre-existence of genres of texts elaborated by previous generations\, organized in a repertoire of models”\, echoing the generic schemata what was John Swales already talking about in his book Gender Analysis (1990)? How do specialized discourse genres update earlier or preformulated generic conventions? In the end\, do genres only reproduce pre-established cultural and memory patterns\, or are there within them mechanisms for innovation and differentiation  ? How can the diachronic study of discourse genres shed light on the memory aspects and mechanisms they conceal?\nBy what ways and means does fiction with a professional substrate (FASP) provide access to the cultures\, memories and legacies of specialized English-speaking communities  ? What narrative and symbolic mechanisms does she use to represent them? In addition to the language and practices of specialized circles\, does the FASP also endeavor to stage specialized cultural or memorial substrates?\n\n\nDidactics and LANSAD sector\n\nIn language teaching\, we often speak of the teaching of a “language-culture”\, thus marking the inseparable nature of the language system and the culture to which it is invariably linked. How would the cultural dimension be essential in the LANSAD sector? What would be the strategies for teaching or making people discover the cultures of specialized circles? Sandrine Chapon (2011) had shown that English-language legal FASPs are part of the cultural landscape of French-speaking students\, and that their use as a teaching aid can facilitate access to the target culture of English-speaking legal circles. Would it be possible to extend and systematize this type of approach?Are there specialized professional cultures that are already or could be the subject of relevant and effective didactic training within the LANSAD sector  ?\nAre there\, within the LANSAD sector in France\, as pointed out by Gail Taillefer (2007)\, specific cultural and memorial specificities? In what way are they forces of progress\, or do they hinder certain advances that would be necessary? Are they challenges or opportunities?\nWhat is the place of memory mechanisms in the teaching and learning of specialized languages? Is it possible to model them and draw up an epistemologically credible portrait of them\, as Jean-Paul Narcy-Combes (2006) tried to do by describing two modes of memory functioning in language production and in learning tasks?\nThe didactics of languages ​​and cultures has been traversed since the beginning of the 20th century by multiple methodological currents (direct or audio-oral methods\, then communicative and co-actional approaches in the more recent period\, for example) . A didactics of the language that would be specifically anchored in specialized English\, a perspective traced by Cédric Sarré and Shona Whyte (2016 )\, should it be part of\, or perhaps free itself from\, these major paradigms of teaching and learning? learning  ? What can we learn from the heritage of these schools of thought in language teaching? Is a right of inventory vis-à-vis them currently possible in French higher education?\n\n\nSpecialized Corpora\, Corpus Linguistics\n\n How can corpus linguistics detect and characterize the cultural and memory aspects of specialized corpora? Does the often ineffable and immaterial nature of cultures\, memories and heritages within specialized English-speaking communities hinder textometric approaches that would make it possible to trace their contours? Within specialized corpora\, what would be the possible distinctive marks of cultures and memories?\n\n\nTranslation studies and specialized translation\n\nHow does the translation of texts\, especially specialized documents\, imply a cultural transfer? Jacqueline Guillemin-Flescher (1994) had indicated that translators are often led to transfer from one national culture to another a form of spirit of the language\, that is to say a “collective stylistic” constituted around behaviors common cultures. In legal translation\, Claude Bocquet (2008) had also underlined the importance of cultural parameters. How is taking into account cultural and memorial dimensions relevant for translating specialized texts  ?\nTools for Taylorizing pragmatic and specialized translation\, “translation memories” symbolize the fact that translating often means activating statements that already exist in human communities to describe certain themes or label certain phenomena. Does the advent of artificial intelligences in translation\, and the displacement that these bring about in the professional positioning of translators (more and more revisers of machine translations)\, profoundly modify the place of discursive\, terminological and phraseological memory in translation ?\nDoes the history of pragmatic and specialized translation reveal particular cultures and traditions in the way of translating? How are today’s translators the repositories of older methodological and epistemological heritages? Are these legacies an unsurpassable horizon\, a pitfall or an asset?\n\n\nHistory and epistemology of research in specialized English\n\n\n\nAt a time when the GERAS community is gradually moving towards its 50th anniversary\, would it be relevant to exercise a right of inventory on the memory and legacies of the work of the French School of English? specialty? What retrospective look can we take on the scientific culture that we have forged together over time? How are we the guardians and heirs of the great voices and figures that have marked our history\, and built the epistemological frameworks that govern our reflections today?
