Call for Participation
Over the last few years, the LSP-GABC has been a platform for the discussion of research findings and dissemination of information on research trends, usage, and teaching and learning in the areas of language for specific purposes and business communication. The gathering enables participants to be stimulated to write, research, and discuss with others from all over the globe who are interested in language for specific purposes and business communication. Previous LSP-GABC conferences have also provided students and individuals working in the public and private sectors with various views and perceptions on the linguistic and communicative competency required to cater to professional demands and situations.
But, even if you are not presenting, we welcome you to the conference as participants. So, come and join us for the 2 ½-day conference with diverse and engaging discussions on language for specific purposes and business communication. We will have experts in the fields of language and business communication, both locally and globally deliberating on the theme of the conference “Empowering Future Talents through Language and Communication”.
