Dozens of international English language experts will gather in Ningbo, Zhejiang, on November 11th to November 13th to share the latest research, including on how best to help non-native speakers learn and improve their English.

The University of Nottingham Ningbo, China (UNNC) is hosting a three-day conference which has attracted some of the world’s leading linguists and English scholars as speakers.

Delegates, who include teachers from Ningbo and the wider Zhejiang region, will be given the opportunity to delve into the details of new practical teaching methods, curriculum planning and materials development with the experts.

This is the second international English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in Asia conference. The theme builds on a growing emphasis on tailoring ESP programmes for the communities in which they are offered.
