7TH AUSTRIAN UAS LANGUAGE INSTRUCTORS’ CONFERENCE

Abstract

As the reasons to learn English have become more specific, the challenges of making content and methods relevant for ESP students have become even greater. This conference focused on the three components of English for Specific Purposes: language, specificity and purpose.

The questions that the talks and workshops addressed were: How can we inspire and motivate our students to reach both their personal and professional potential? In which ways can technology serve as an ESP teacher’s tool to help achieve this? How can we most effectively meet students’ specific needs for English in multicultural societies?
