We cordially invite you to submit your contributions.<\/p>\n<p>The Slovene Association of LSP Teachers plays an important role in the development of teaching and research in languages for specific purposes in Slovenia. The past three highly acclaimed conferences (in 2017, 2020, and 2023) successfully brought together researchers and teachers of languages for specific purposes from around the world. Since one of the conference\u2019s goals is to strengthen collaboration with existing partners and establish new connections within the broader international LSP research and teaching community, the 2026 conference will also feature <strong>AELFE<\/strong> (the European Association of Languages for Specific Purposes) as an <strong>honoured guest association<\/strong>. With approximately 200 members from both European and non-European universities, AELFE\u2019s aim is to advance diverse approaches to LSP and specialized communication while promoting current knowledge across academic and professional settings.<\/p>\n<p>Through the presentation of research, and the sharing of knowledge, experience and examples of good practice in the field of LSP, the 4th international SDUTSJ conference offers a unique platform for a vibrant and productive exchange of perspectives among LSP scholars across Europe and beyond. At the same time, it presents an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and also to establish new international professional and research partnerships and collaboration in the field of foreign languages for specific purposes.<\/p>\n<p><label class=\"col-md-3 col-form-label label-required \" for=\"uri\" data-has-required-anno=\"false\" data-input-name=\"uri\">URI
