English is a means of communication taught in different fields to achieve occupational and academic purposes around the globe. Thus, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is one of the challenges trying to transform teaching and learning into a process, which focuses on the development of professional skills, enables students to become successful learners of the target language, and makes them more aware of the local and global environments.
Through this conference, we will try to analyze key challenges that teachers and learners face in classrooms and suggest a way of integrating soft and hard skills. Our aim is to bring researchers to study the existing ESP literature in terms of presence of global issues, explore the perceptions of global issues among university students, outline the correlation between professional skills and global competence, and enhance the teaching of ESP in this field. We will not only expose our work but also discuss the future of English for Specific Purposes, and suggest ways to use it effectively in their field of study for scientific purposes.
