Conference Chair

On February 7 and 8, 2009, the University of Crete held its inaugural “Language for Specific and Academic Purposes” conference (LSP) and played host to 130 L.S.P. practitioners from all over the world in order to address the issue of “Options and Practices of L.S.P. Practitioners”. The conference was attended by delegations from 20 different countries. Two thirds of the participants worked on the tertiary sector, teaching English for Specific and/or Academic Purposes, and one third was secondary school or private sector teachers, or students.

The conference programme was rounded off around 22 papers and four workshops, and an exhibition covering 300 square meters floor space. There were five plenary sessions and 17 concurrent sessions. The conference sought to provide the opportunity for University instructors and other L.S.P. instructors from all over the world to meet and debate issues on current teaching practices and research applications.

Two thirds of Conference participants that evaluated the conference’s organization, content and opportunity to exchange information provided useful feedback for present and future conference organizers.

Here are the outcomes of the Evaluation Forms Report:

We are very pleased that the University of Crete will be hosting the event this year at the Chemistry department in Heraklion and are looking forward to your participation.
