• Goals
• Fund raising Plan
• Pledge Form

The goal of the Solidarity Award Fund (SAF) is to raise an endowment fund to support scholars to attend AILA meetings (held every three years). These awards are for scholars whose papers are accepted for presentation at the conference, but who are from parts of the world where economies make it difficult, if not prohibitive, for them to travel to the conference. These individuals are the future of our profession and will be the leaders in Applied Linguistics in their countries. The goal of $50,000 for this fundraising campaign would provide funds for this purpose. Actual fund-raising will continue up until the 2008 AILA Congress in Essen.

page top

Fund-Raising Plan

SAF giving will be solicited in five recognized categories. In all instances gifts can be made in a single contribution or as a pledge over three years.

1. Foundation Donors:

Individuals, groups, and organizations that donate a minimum of $1,000 will be recognized as providing major gifts for the fund. These gifts will be mentioned in all publicity announcements for the fund (through the end of fund-raising campaign) and on the AILA website.

2. Scholarship Donors:

Individuals, groups, and organizations that donate a minimum of $800 will also be recognized in all publicity announcements for the fund (through the end of fund-raising campaign) and on the AILA website.

3. Charter Donors:

Individuals, groups, and organizations that donate a minimum of $500 will also be recognized in all publicity announcements for the fund (through the end of fund-raising campaign) and on the AILA website.

4. Honoraria Donors:

Individuals in this category provide honoraria they have received for the purposes of the endowment fund ($200 minimum, without specific amount noted). These individuals will be recognized during the 12 month period following receipt of their honoraria gift.

5. Fund Donors:

Individuals responding to the fund raising request will be listed in the next issue of AILA News and at the next Congress. (Standard donations amounts include $150, $100, $75, $50, $35, $25; Student donation amounts of $20, $15, and $ 10 will also be accepted and recognized). Of course, any donation of any size will be appreciated.

6. Special Gift Donors:

Any individual, group, or organization wishing to consider a special gift well beyond the categories noted above will be given special recognition. Interest in making a special gift can be discussed with Karlfried Knapp (AILA Secretary-General) or Susan Gass (AILA President).

"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."

Deadline for submission of abstract proposals: 31 October 2007

The Conference "Language Issues in English-medium Universities: A Global Concern" will provide a forum to discuss and debate language issues in English-medium universities internationally.

Homepage: http://www.hku.hk/clear/conference08/

Every three years, AILA holds its international World Congress. This congress is the biggest event in Applied Linguistics, bringing together - usually more than 2.000 - researchers and practitioners from all areas of Applied Linguistics for five days.

The Congress is characterized by high level presentations and discussions on key issues of the field. Its format includes keynote addresses, plenary speeches by outstanding scholars, invited symposia, symposia, individual papers and poster presentations.

The first AILA Congress took part in Nancy, France, 1964, presenting in its strands cutting edge findings from theory and practice of the time. Following this model, the programs of the Past Congresses represent the history of the discipline.

Each congress is organised by a different national or regional affiliate. The congress sites alternate between different areas of the world to reflect the global character of AILA.

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 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.
Homepage: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/loi/IJAL

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.

Every three years, AILA holds its international World Congress. This congress is the biggest event in Applied Linguistics, bringing together - usually more than 2.000 - researchers and practitioners from all areas of Applied Linguistics for five days.

The Congress is characterized by high level presentations and discussions on key issues of the field. Its format includes keynote addresses, plenary speeches by outstanding scholars, invited symposia, symposia, individual papers and poster presentations.

The first AILA Congress took part in Nancy, France, 1964, presenting in its strands cutting edge findings from theory and practice of the time. Following this model, the programs of the Past Congresses represent the history of the discipline.

Each congress is organised by a different national or regional affiliate. The congress sites alternate between different areas of the world to reflect the global character of AILA.

August 24-29 2008, Essen, Germany

"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."

Deadline for submission of abstract proposals: 31 October 2007

The Conference "Language Issues in English-medium Universities: A Global Concern" will provide a forum to discuss and debate language issues in English-medium universities internationally. The participation of tertiary teachers, researchers, applied linguists and ELT professionals from all regions and contexts is welcome.
We welcome proposals for paper presentations, colloquia and posters discussing research in relation to any areas that fit within the theme of the Conference: "Language Issues in English-medium Universities: A Global Concern".

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)

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.
