The special issue of Folia Linguistica et Litteraria – the Journal of Language and Literary Studies (42), Faculty of Philology, University of Montenegro, has been published and can be found at https://www.folia.ucg.ac.me/arhiva42.html.

It comprises research articles in the field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP), most of which were presented at the Language for Specific Purposes: Trends and Perspectives International Conference held on 17-18 September 2021 in Budva, Montenegro. The conference was organised as part of the Erasmus+ ReFLAME project. The project is coordinated by the Faculty of Philology of the University of Montenegro, in partnership with the University of Donja Gorica, and Mediterranean University from Montenegro, and the University for Foreigners of Perugia, the University of Warsaw and the University of Zagreb as EU partners. This special issue includes 19 research articles that revolve around seven thematic issues related to the LSP field: LSP and Higher Education, LSP and E-teaching and E-learning, ESP Coursebook Design and Materials Development, Corpus-based Research in ESP, the Pragmatic Aspects of LSP discourse, ESP and Literature, and ESP and Translation.

The current journal issue constitutes a valuable resource for a variety of readers, notably researchers and practitioners interested in LSP from the perspective of studying, best practice or research. Our gratitude goes to all the authors of the research articles and to those colleagues who have collaborated with us as reviewers.
