"English for Central Europe: Saxon-Czech perspectives" was the first meeting of English specialists from Saxony and the Czech Republic, which was made possible through the "Tschechisch-Schsische Hochschulkolleg" (TSHC), a project funded by the European Union and the Saxon State to encourage the academic exchange between Saxon and Czech universities. This meeting brought together teachers and students from both sides of the Erzgebirge for the first time to discuss their experience and opinions. This volume cannot document the lively atmosphere and inspiring discussions that we had during the two-day conference, but it documents the breadth of the issues discussed. This volume covers all aspects of English at university level, language, cultural and literary studies, methodology as well as practical language teaching.
