Welcome to English for Specific Purposes Conference to be held on

at ITMO University,

#ITMOesp #MakingBridges
ITMO University invites you to participate in the Fifth International Conference “More than ESP”. The Conference traditionally gathers participants from multifaceted spheres, both academic and business. The event provides a valuable opportunity to gain practical knowledge in dealing with multiple challenges of teaching students with various majors.
Participation in the Conference will be especially beneficial for university faculty staff members teaching English in non-linguistic institutions, as well as for those dealing with English-Medium instruction. EL professionals employed in public schools and private language schools will also find participation useful and rewarding.
In 2023 the conference will be devoted to Making bridges. Throughout our educational and professional paths we always make bridges: between a teacher and a student, a school and a university, between universities within one country and across the globe, between a university and a place of employment. In the three days of the conference we’ll see how to adapt to and exist in this multi-actor system.
