The foundation of AILA was agreed upon at the International Colloquium of Applied Linguistics at the University of Nancy, France (hence AILA's French name), 1964. This decision was a result of two years preparatory work and discussion, with the financial support of the Council of Europe. At that time, the clientele to be served by this new international association was restricted mainly to linguists and language teachers in Europe. The first president of AILA was Bernard Pottier, supported in organizational and administrative matters by Max Gorosch. The founding congress of AILA in Nancy was almost exclusively run in French, and the main strands into which the contributions were organized were automatic translation, language teaching and research cooperation in Europe.

Bernhard Pottier had no direct successor until 1969, when at the Second International Congress of Applied Linguistics at the University of Cambridge (in fact the first one with this title) AILA was virtually refounded and Pit Corder was elected President and Bertil Malmberg became Secretary General. It was from then on that AILA got a constant organizational structure and that AILA Congresses were held on a triennial basis. Also from then on, English became the de facto lingua franca in AILA, although the Association was officially French / English bilingual from its beginning and still is today. This congress also became prototypical for all following AILA Congresses in that its strands represented the key issues in Applied Linguistics of the respective time - in that case, the psychology of second language learning, sociolinguistics, and contrastive linguistics.

Originally a European initiative, AILA has become truly gobal over the past 40 years, including now affiliates from Africa, Asia, Latin America and North America.

In applying for a Solidarity Award, individuals or affiliates applying on behalf of an individual must send all the following documents:

1. A one-page letter of application giving the motivation of the applicant to participate, the reasons why participation without the award might be impossible, and how the applicant intends to make use of the congress participation afterwards;
2. A proposed budget for the expenses;
3. A CV from the applicant, showing evidence of academic excellence and/or promise;
4. A letter of support from an AILA affiliate association, a Scientific Commission or a senior academic who is acquainted with the candidate's work;
5. A copy of the abstract accepted to the upcoming AILA World Congress or evidence of a firm invitation to take part in a symposium or Scientific Commission session.

Successful applicants must provide the AILA Executive Board with a one-page report within a month of the congress; the reports will be published in AILA News.

Applications should be sent by e-mail only to the chair of the Solidarity Committee of the AILA Executive Board:

AILA aims to extend participation in Applied Linguistics across geographical areas not currently well represented in our association by offering a limited number of Solidarity Awards to scholars in Applied Linguistics who might be unable to participate in the World Congress without financial support. This is made possible by the generous donation of individuals, businesses, and organizations to the Solidarity Fund.

The selection criteria for Solidarity Awards are academic merit or promise, together with a financially disadvantaged situation, and acceptance of an abstract for presentation by the Congress organisers.

There are both 'full' awards, covering reasonable travel costs, accommodation and congress fees, and 'travel' awards, covering reasonable travel costs and congress fees.

"It is only natural that an AILA World congress in Europe should focus on aspects of multilingual matters and the linguistic richness of this continent. The European Union and the Council of Europe have a clearly defined policy to preserve Europe as a multilingual and multicultural region. Because of the expansion of the European Union in the coming years, multilingualism and the challenges and opportunities connected with it will be a very topical theme in 2008, thus attracting a lot of attention and promising to be a great stimulus for academic debate. Consequently, the GAL-Executive and the AGM chose MULTILINGUALISM:
Challenges and Opportunities as the theme for the 2008 congress."

Edited by Kathleen Bardovi-Harlig and Zoltán Dörnyei. For the table of contents and abstract see Themes in SLA Research.

AILA is the acronym for Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée or International Association of Applied Linguistics.

AILA is the international federation of national or regional associations of Applied Linguistics. Through its member associations, AILA currently has a membership of more than 8.000 individuals worldwide who as researchers, policy makers or practitioners are active in the field of Applied Linguistics.

Applied Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of research and practice dealing with practical problems of language and communication that can be identified, analysed or solved by applying available theories, methods and results of Linguistics or by developing new theoretical and methodological frameworks in Linguistics to work on these problems. Applied Linguistics differs from Linguistics in general mainly with respect to its explicit orientation towards practical, everyday problems related to language and communication.

The problems Applied Linguistics deals with range from aspects of the linguistic and communicative competence of the individual such as first or second language acquisition, literacy, language disorders, etc. to language and communication related problems in and between societies such as e.g. language variation and linguistic discrimination, multilingualism, language conflict, language policy and language planning.

AILA is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) enjoying Status B (mutual information and consultation) with UNESCO.

This page is intended to provide Applied Linguists with information and tools that are relevant for their work. In particular, this page will contain:

• A calendar of congresses and similar events
• Tools that are available online such as
  • Dictionaries
  • Fonts
  • IPA-Transcriptions
  • Language corpora
• Job opportunities

At this point, only the calendar of congresses and similar events is available. Fellow Applied Linguists are invited to suggest new congresses and events.

AILA issues three different publications:

• AILA News
• AILA Review
• AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS)

AILA News

AILA News is a twice yearly newsletter with information on internal matters of AILA and its affiliates. It is edited by Richard Baldauf and Steward Campbell. They restarted the AILA News (New Series) as an electronic publication in 1998. It is distributed online to all AILA affiliates, associates and individual members.

AILA Review

AILA Review is a scholarly journal of AILA. Its first issue appeared in 1984, and from 1989, all volumes are guest-edited and thematically oriented. Up to volume 16, the journal was published by AILA itself. From volume 16 onwards, AILA Review is published by John Benjamins.

AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS)

AILA Applied Linguistics Series (AALS) is a book series published under the editorial responsibility of AILA at John Benjamins, Amsterdam.

Third Party Publications

The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) publishes articles that explore the relationship between expertise in linguistics, broadly defined, and the everyday experience of language. Its scope is international in that it welcomes articles which show explicitly how local issues of language use or learning exemplify more global concerns.

AILA is looking for researchers interested in organizing Research Networks (ReN) focused on special topic areas of Applied Linguistics. If you would like to work internationally on your area of research together with other scholars from all over the world, you might consider applying to be a ReN organizer.

Research Networks (ReNs) seek to promote the gathering and dissemination of information and the undertaking of research in all academic areas of AILA with a particular focus on areas that have the potential for new cross-disciplinary research.

ReNs exist for three years and can be renewed. At any point in time, there will be about 15 ReNs in existence. Generally, the life of an ReN is not expected to be longer than six years. Renewals beyond the six years would be determined by the criteria listed below.

For the formation of an ReN, the following criteria should be met:

• at least five members, some of whom should be new scholars,
• multinational composition,
• participants are active in the research area of the ReN,
• a program for research activities for the three years between congresses and a commitment to present at the upcoming AILA World Congress,
• nominate from among their members one individual as the organizer of the respective ReN who liases with the ReN Coordinator.

page top

How to set up a ReN

For new applications, the ReN organizer must submit a proposal to the ReN Coordinator at least two months prior to the World Congress. The proposal should consist of

• a statement concerning the scope of the ReN,
• a list of the participants of the ReN and their affiliation,
• a plan for ReN activities for the upcoming three years, and
• a commitment to fill their ReN slot at the AILA Congress three years hence.

Each ReN organizer is responsible for a brief written report to the ReN Coordinator on an annual basis.

When possible, AILA will, upon written request, consider limited financial support for ReN activities.

Applications to set up a new ReN should be directed to the AILA ReN Coordinator.

How a former Scientific Commission (SC) can continue as a ReN

If a current Scientific Commision (SC) of AILA has been demonstrably active, it may continue its research as an ReN by meeting the criteria listed in the section above.

For continuation as a ReN, the presently designated SC convener and, in future, the ReN organizer must submit to the ReN Coordinator no more than two months following the World Congress a proposal which demonstrates an active research profile in the preceding three years. In addition, at the most recent AILA Congress, they must have filled their SC/ReN slot with presentations relating to the domain of their ReN/SC.

Specifically, the proposal should consist of:

• evidence of past activities including a description of the session at the most recent AILA World Congress and a statement of evolving research interests of the ReN/existing SC,
• a plan for ReN activities for the upcoming three years,
• a list of the participants of the ReN and their affiliation,
• a commitment to fill their ReN slot at the AILA Congress three years hence.

The decision for renewal will be based on fulfillment of the above criteria as determined by the ReN-Committee as defined in the Bylaws of AILA.

It will be the task of the ReN coordinator to notify the ReN organizers of the specific submission date for proposals to continue and the criteria for continuation.

ReN organizers will be notified of the decision no later than two months after the proposal submission deadline.

AILA is composed of the following types of members:

Navigate this Page

A non-profit national or regional representative organization that has maintained an active scientific program in the field of applied linguistics for some time and agrees in writing in the required form required by the Bylaws to undertake the responsibilities of membership in AILA, may become a regular affiliate member. Only one organization from one country or region is admitted as a regular affiliated member.

The organization may be a representative of a number of other participating associations within the country or region.

A regular affiliate member organization should normally have no fewer than 20 members.

Annual membership fee in AILA is US $ 6.- for each individual who is a direct member of the respective national or regional organization.

Temporary Affiliate Member

An association that is active in the field of applied linguistics in a country or region where a national or regional representative organization has not yet been established admitted as a regular affiliate member may become a temporary affiliate member.

Only one organization from each country or region is to be admitted as a temporary affiliate member. The organization may be a representative of a number of participating associations within the country or region.

One of the responsibilities of a temporary affiliate member is to promote the formation of a national or regional representative organization as soon as possible.

Temporary affiliate membership is granted for a period of three years. Temporary affiliate membership may be extended only if the temporary affiliate member demonstrates that its application for regular affiliate membership is nearing completion and will be presented for approval within two years from the date of the grant of the extension.

Annual Membership fee in AILA is US $ 6.- for each individual who is a direct member of the respective temporary affiliate organization. It can, however, be reduced subject to negotiation.
