Full Professor, Applied linguistics and ESP
severine.wozniak@univ-lyon2.fr
I am a full professor of English for Specific Purposes and Applied Linguistics at Université Lumière Lyon 2 (France). My primary research interests lie in the areas of applied linguistics and include discourse analysis, language for specific purposes, ethnographic research methods in a specialized context and the description of professional varieties of English. Another area of interest focuses on language policy, language teaching to non-specialist students, and more particularly on the place and role of Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) in French university programs.
I served as President of GERAS (Groupe d’Étude et de Recherche en Anglais de Spécialité), the French national professional association of research in ESP from 2019 to 2025. I have been a member of the Language for Work Network since 2016.
