Dear students, it is our great pleasure to announce and invite you to the eleventh international language conference on the Importance of Learning Professional Foreign Languages for Communication between Cultures, which will take place at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. Since you have profession-related language courses, we believe that it would be great to have contributions from your perspective.

• Role of languages for specific purposes in the 21st century

• Intercultural dimension of an LSP course

• Use of technology in LSP courses

• Digital genres in academic settings

• Authentic and adapted materials in an LSP course

• Learning language for specific purposes – students’ perspective

• Globalization and intercultural communication
