This special journal issue comprises 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 (Reforming Foreign Languages in Academia in Montenegro). ReFLAME is a CBHE project, the aim of which is to strengthen the capacities of Montenegrin universities to offer modern, market-oriented foreign language education for non-philology students, in response to the growing demand for foreign language skills in most work positions. 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. The LSP conference provided an international forum for sharing experience, knowledge and results related to the theory, methodology and practice of teaching languages for specific purposes. It brought together over 100 researchers and practitioners from various countries who were focused on modern LSP concepts and approaches, establishing links with the needs of both academia and the labour market. The conference participants presented their research results, projects and experience, showing significant advances and demonstrating good practice in different areas of LSP. The current journal issue includes 19 articles that revolve around seven thematic issues related to the LSP field: LSP and Higher Education, LSP and Eteaching 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
