AILA issues three different publications:

• AILA News
• AILA Review

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.

• A calendar of congresses and similar events
• Tools that are available online such as
  • Dictionaries
  • Fonts

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 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.
