Dear colleagues,

To say that English has become an integral part of professional and academic contexts is as much of a cliché as it is an understatement. Let us then dig deeper beyond these simplifications and discuss the many fascinating ways in which this language shapes the academia and professional world, while being simultaneously shaped by its users of various backgrounds as they go about their daily business in these spheres.

It is our pleasure to announce the international conference held at the Department of Foreign Languages, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication, Brno University of Technology:

English in Academic and Professional Contexts

Brno, Czech Republic

The key themes for the papers and posters in the individual sections include:
