·        Research on Languages for Engineering (Special) Purposes (LSP)

·        Innovative language teaching and learning materials

·        ICT-based language learning and teaching

·        New Learning Environments

·        CALL multimedia courseware

·        Web-enhanced Language Learning

·        Language issues in student and teacher mobility (international exchanges)

This conference emphasizes development of international partnerships in education and research. Through special sessions and international workshops, it provides ample opportunity for discussing future cooperative projects.
