Advanced Seminar
VS-Socioling. and Varieties of English: English for Specific Purposes
Antje Wilton
Comments
This seminar introduces students to the field of ESP (English for Specific Purposes), commonly defined as the teaching of English to nonnative speakers in a specific professional domain. The seminar is based on the notion of English as an international language (EIL) with an important (and sometimes critical) role in professional communication. We will discuss the theoretical foundations of linguistic research into EIL, then move on to the particular requirements and challenges of teaching specialized English to adult professionals and finally explore the use of English in a number of professional fields, such as aviation, medicine, law, academia, tourism and others. Students will be required to design and participate in student-led thematic sessions. close
