Scope:
The AILA Research Network (ReN) “Multilingual approaches to fluency”, focuses on current trends in second language (L2) fluency research. L2 fluency is a current topic in second language acquisition and relevant to applied linguistics more broadly, including language assessment and L2 teaching, with many scholars calling for more interdisciplinary research. By encouraging interdisciplinary connections and highlighting a multilingual approach to fluency, the “Multilingual approaches to fluency” ReN extends current L2 fluency research to new areas, with a more ethical inclusive focus on multilingual populations than often currently included, and provides directions for future studies. The ReN highlights theoretically or methodologically novel perspectives on fluency and provides a platform for researchers studying L2 fluency from different perspectives. More specifically, the fluency research relevant to the ReN includes, for instance, the following topics:
connections between L1 and L2/L3 fluency
continuum between fluency and disfluency
fluency across different language skills
fluency and socio-affective factors
fluency and cognition
fluency development
fluency in assessment
fluency in interaction
multimodal approaches to fluency, and
task-based effects on fluency.
The ReN builds on collaborations and fluency-themed research presented at two consecutive AILA World Congresses: “Interdisciplinary approaches to L2 fluency” at AILA 2021 (convenors Pekka Lintunen & Pauliina Peltonen; online) and at AILA 2023 “Fluency as a multilingual practice: Concepts and challenges” (convenors Pauliina Peltonen & Clare Wright; hybrid). The ReN ensures the continued collaboration across fluency researchers working in different countries – even on different continents – and provides a platform for facilitating the development of fluency research on a global scale (e.g. by facilitating the planning of multinational research projects).

A warm welcome to the website of ICL 20, the 20th International Congress of Linguists. The congress is to be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre between the 2nd to the 6th of July 2018. The hosts are CIPL (Comité International Permanent des Linguistes), the LSSA (Linguistics Society of Southern Africa) and UCT (the University of Cape Town). Our partner organisations are given below. Please follow the links to find out more about these dynamic organisations.
The Congress is held every five years, and is meant to showcase current developments in Linguistics. The Congress will run over five days, have a plenary panel on linguistics in South Africa, nine plenary speakers covering a range of major sub-fields, 10 paper sessions each with its own focus speaker, up to 30 workshops, and several poster sessions. While speakers and topics are drawn from a wide international pool, ICL 20 will take the additional opportunity of showcasing African language research. It will also cover applied linguistic areas of research of vital importance to the African continent and the 21st century at large, with a special extended session on Multilingualism, Education, Policy and Development.
Please take a look at the pages on our Scientific Committee, our invited plenary speakers, session topics and call for workshop proposals and abstracts. If you haven’t visited Cape Town before, please also have a look at some of the images of a beautiful and diverse city. We look forward to welcoming you at the tip of Africa in July 2018.
The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism - The Different Faces of Bilingualism –
Call for Papers
The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism will take place on 9-13 June 2025 in Donostia-San Sebastián (Spain) and will be hosted by the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language.
The theme of the conference is The Different Faces of Bilingualism. This deliberately broad theme for ISB15 is aimed at meeting ISB’s mission to create a space for researchers with a diverse range of interests to share their knowledge and gain new perspectives, and to foster meaningful cross-disciplinary collaborations. We hope to bring together researchers working on different faces of bilingualism, including different research areas, methodological approaches, and populations. In line with this aim, we have invited plenary speakers who represent different faces of bilingualism, from sociolinguistics to education, psycholinguistics to translation. This broad theme reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the organizing committee, based in a center of excellence for neuroscientific research into language and bilingualism. To capitalize on this expertise, ISB15 will feature The Bilingual Brain Day, which is intended to share the core insights of the field with researchers of other areas and to discuss the state-of-the-art with researchers in the field. The conference theme also aims to promote inclusivity, inspired by its location in the Spanish Basque Country, one of the few regions in the world that has successfully revived its bilingual heritage across all aspects of society.
ISB15 invites submissions in all areas of research on bilingualism and multilingualism, including but not limited to: linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, applied linguistics, neuropsychology, language acquisition, clinical linguistics, language and education, and multilingual societies.
Keynote speakers:
Laura Bosch (University of Barcelona)
Jasone Cenoz (University of the Basque Country)
Robert Hartsuiker (Ghent University)
Janet van Hell (The Pennsylvania State University)
Pia Lane (University of Oslo)
Rajend Mesthrie (University of Cape Town)
Elizabeth D. Peña (University of California, Irvine)
Anthony Pym (Universitat Rovira i Virgili)
We invite abstracts for two categories of submissions: individual papers and posters.
Individual papers are formal presentations on original research or pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a maximum of 20 minutes with 5 additional minutes for discussion.
Posters on original research or pedagogy will be displayed in sessions that offer the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion with others in the field. Posters are especially effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork, and results of empirical research for which data can be presented visually. On each day of the conference, there will be a 90-minute poster session with presenters in attendance. Posters can be left on display throughout the entire day of their session.
Preference will be given to abstracts describing completed work with research results available, but abstracts featuring preliminary data are also welcome. Abstracts describing research plans will be considered for poster presentation only.
Abstract submission for individual papers and posters will open on 18 September 2024 and end at 23:59 (CET) on 13 November 2024. Please note that individual submissions cannot be made while the call for symposia is still open, which will end on 16 September.
Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length (including any references), anonymized and submitted in English via the submission portal: https://www.bcbl.eu/events/isb15/en/abstract/
Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 3 February 2025.
OASIS is a publicly available database (oasis-database.org) of accessible summaries of research articles in the fields of language learning, language teaching, and multilingualism. OASIS summaries are a single page only and are written in non-technical language. Each summary provides information about what the study was about, why it is important, what the researcher(s) did, and what the study found. Our aim is to make research findings more accessible to language professionals outside of academia.
Why are accessible summaries necessary?
Language teachers report having limited direct contact with research and research findings despite generally having positive perceptions of research (Borg, 2009). In the UK, Marsden & Kasprowicz (2017) found that while foreign language educators do have some indirect exposure to research through professional organisations, they have very little direct contact with language learning and teaching research. Similarly, in a study with teachers in Canada and Turkey, Nassaji (2012) found that 48% percent of language teachers rarely or never read research articles, even though 79% strongly agreed that knowing about SLA research improves second language teaching.
The main reasons teachers give for having limited interaction with research even if they view it positively are 1) practical limitations – lack of time and access, and 2) conceptual constraints – academic papers can be difficult to read (see also Plavén-Sigray et al., 2017). OASIS therefore aims to make research into language learning, language teaching, and multilingualism both physically and conceptually available to a wide audience.
What does OASIS offer?
The database currently holds over 350 summaries on a wide variety of topics, including vocabulary learning, heritage languages, and the use of CALL to support classroom teaching, to name a few. The bulk of our summaries focus on recent material, but summaries of some classic papers suggested by journal editors, team members, and experts are available too.
Journal involvement and sustainability
14 journals were involved in establishing OASIS. Currently, a number of these are suggesting or encouraging authors of newly accepted papers to write an accessible summary of their work. Importantly, Language Learning, TESOL Quarterly, and the Modern Language Journal are requiring all authors of accepted papers to write an OASIS summary. The support of three of the top journals in language learning and teaching means that we have a steady stream of new summaries, up-to-date content for our users, and a sustainable, author and journal driven practice. We are in discussions with other journals to join the initiative.
Professional associations
We are also pleased to have the support of professional language teaching associations, such as the Association for Language Learning (ALL) in the UK and American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) in the US. In addition to helping us secure funding, these collaborations are enabling us to reach a wide audience, that is they help us to ensure OASIS summaries reach the users they are intended for.
Contributing OASIS summaries
The summaries currently available on our website have been elicited by participating journals or written by the OASIS team. However, anyone can send in OASIS summaries of their peer-reviewed articles published in SSCI indexed journals. If you have published work that is particularly relevant for teachers, teacher educators, parents, policy makers, or other interested parties outside of academia, please consider writing your own OASIS summary. OASIS guidelines and summary writing tips are available on our help page. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have. Contact us at .
Stay up to date
OASIS is running a monthly round up email of new summaries. You can sign up at https://tinyurl.com/oasisalerts. Or follow us on twitter @OASIS_Database to learn about new summaries the moment they go live.

Call for Proposals
A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE. The world has taken a multilingual turn: an increased awareness that monolingualism is an exception rather than a norm and unprecedented mass migrations have created impetus for continued pedagogical, assessment, policy, and technological innovations to reflect changing global realities. New calls for recognition and specific actions to support diversity, inclusion, equity, and citizenship related to languages have also come to the forefront of global thinking.
THE CANADIAN CONTEXT. In keeping with global trends, Canada has entered a new era in its thinking and actions regarding the role and impact of languages in its complex and diverse social fabric. Continuing to celebrate French-English bilingualism, the Government of Canada has recently launched consultations on modernizing the Official Languages Act and has announced an investment of over $16 million to implement a free learning and maintenance program for French and English. Strong voices for according a new place and offering higher recognition to Indigenous languages have triggered consultations and subsequent enactment of the Indigenous Languages Act (June 2019). Furthermore, close to 23% of Canadians report having a language other than English or French as a mother tongue (Statistics Canada, 2017).
THE CALL. Within this rich and stimulating global and local context, the Canadian Centre for Studies and Research on Bilingualism and Language Planning (CCERBAL) is launching a call for its 2020 Conference. We welcome proposals for individual presentations, posters, symposia, round tables and workshops transcending boundaries and bringing thinking and action to the next level on topics related, but not limited, to the following:
Language teaching, learning, and assessment
Language and Technology
Language policy and family language policy
Flexible, experiential, community and informal language learning
Academic literacies, multiliteracies and multimodality
Languages of schooling, immersion studies, bi-/multilingual education, language intensive programs
The role of L1(s) or mother tongue(s) in second/additional language teaching
Inclusion, social justice and equity
Creation and intersection of third spaces and dialogue between spaces
Language and migration
Plurilingualism, multilingualism, translanguaging
Official languages, Heritage languages, Modern languages, Indigenous languages, Sign languages, Minority languages, ‘Big’ languages vs. ‘Small’ languages
Languages other than English (LOTE)

AESLA is pleased to present the 43rd International Congress of the Association of Applied Linguistics (AESLA), which will be held from 15 to 17 April 2026 in Granada.
The theme of the conference will be: ‘Language, variation and identity: linguistic dynamics to represent society’. This title suggests a reflection on how linguistic changes influence the configuration of societies given that, in an increasingly diverse, global and interconnected world, language is an essential tool for representing social complexity. In this case, applied linguistics can provide new interpretations of patterns of linguistic change and variation, as well as explain the role that language plays in the articulation of social identities and in the creation and/or modification of linguistic communities. This conference aims to be a space for dialogue to reflect on how language reflects and shapes social diversity.

3rd International Conference on Migration Linguistics, Malaysia and Singapore, November 2026
Conference Theme: Migrants at the Margins: Roots, Routes, Belonging, and Language
Contemporary migration is a phenomenon shaped by histories of displacement, changing work opportunities, geopolitical shifts, global inequalities, and the climate emergency. As people migrate, they navigate new social, cultural, political, and linguistic terrains. A large proportion of people who migrate for better opportunities elsewhere tend to be at the mercy of forces of power both at the origin and in the destination. In the process, their identities are reshaped across roots (heritage and origin), routes (journeys, mobilities, border crossings), belonging (integration, exclusion), and language (communication, identity, power, survival).
This conference places special attention on migrants situated at the margins. It seeks to illuminate the complex linguistic, cultural, and social experiences of migrant individuals and communities whose voices often remain unheard in dominant narratives. We welcome contributions that engage with the intersections of migration and language from diverse theoretical, methodological, creative, and community-based lenses.
We welcome proposals for paper presentations, panels, workshops, and creative formats that engage with the following (but not limited to) sub-themes:
Roots: Histories, Heritage, and Language Maintenance Heritage language preservation and intergenerational transmission Narratives of homeland, displacement, and ancestral ties Linguistic revitalization among migrant or diasporic communities Linguistic traces in Migration Histories Routes: Journeys, Transits, and Mobilities Language use in transit, borderlands, and temporary settlements Communication challenges in mobility Linguistic landscapes across migratory routes New mobilities in digital migration and transnational networks Belonging: Identity, Integration, and Exclusion Language policies and migrant inclusion/exclusion Accent discrimination and linguistic prejudice Language learning and social integration in migration contexts Multilingualism and translingual practices in diaspora Language: Power, Agency, and Negotiation Language as a tool for advocacy and resistance Linguistic exploitation and rights in Disaster communication and forced migration Theories, methods, and innovations in migration linguistics
Migrant storytelling, performance, and language in the arts

Dear colleagues!
We are pleased to announce that, due to popular demand, we have extended the Call for Papers deadline by two weeks for the Call of Papers for the 11th Biennial International Conference on the Linguistics of Contemporary English (BICLCE), to be held from 3rd to 5th July 2026 in Austria, at the University of Klagenfurt.
For over two decades, the BICLCE conference series has been a forum for researchers who are interested in the linguistics of contemporary English. It is open to different theoretical and methodological perspectives. Previous conferences were held in Edinburgh (2005), Toulouse (2007), London (2009), Osnabrück (2011), Austin TX (2013), Madison WI (2015), Vigo (2017), Bamberg (2019), Ljubljana (2022) and Alicante (2024). BICLCE 2026 wishes to continue this long-standing tradition of exploring contemporary English.
We are pleased to announce the following keynote speakers: Daniel Davis, Maria Kuteeva, Marc Xu, Barbara Seidlhofer, and José Fajardo.
This time, BICLCE11 comes with an additional thematic focus on “English in a geopolitically changing world”, motivated by the major changes the world has experienced in the last several years which may potentially influence how English is used and perceived internationally. Therefore, we are happy to invite researchers to submit proposals addressing this topic in particular. Beyond this special theme, contributions related to English are also welcome in any of the following fields/areas: syntax, morphology, sociolinguistics, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, cognitive linguistics, phonetics/phonology, applied linguistics, and more.
We invite proposals for contributions to the conference, either for the General Sessionsor for one of seven Thematic Sessions:
For all sessions, we invite proposals for individual papers consisting of a 20-minute presentation followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Abstracts should clearly indicate the theoretical framework, the research question(s), elaborate data and methodology and discuss (expected) findings. The abstract should not exceed 300 words (excluding references). The abstract should be adapted to the Chicago Manual of Style (18th edition), and be anonymized before its submission as they will undergo anonymous peer-review.
The abstracts should be submitted electronically and as either docx or pdf files, using the following template: https://conference3.aau.at/event/156/attachments/116/305/Template_BICLCE11.docx.

Vygotskian sociocultural theory: Transforming L2 teaching, learning, assessment, and research
Vygotskian Sociocultural Theory (V-SCT), as a theory of mind, has had a major impact on second language (L2) theory and practice over the last four decades. It has challenged L2 educators' understanding of the genesis of L2 development and effective pedagogy through a set of principles (see Swain, Kinnear & Steinman (2015) for a comprehensive and accessible review) such as the central role of interpsychological mediation, and the focus on conceptbased teaching and curriculum design. However, as L2 educators and researchers, often trained in cognitivist paradigms, redefine their roles and attempt to reconcile previous practices and beliefs with new concepts, many confusions persist (Knouzi, in press). These confusions exist especially with respect to key concepts such as ZPD vs. i+1; mediation vs. scaffolding; role of concept-based language instruction in form-focused instruction; role of affect vs. positive psychology; and Dynamic Assessment vs. proficiency testing.
This special issue seeks to explain key V-SCT concepts and demonstrate their relevance to L2 theory and practice in Canadian contexts, as demonstrated by Canadian scholars through conceptual papers and empirical studies.
We invite submissions that examine and critique L2 development, teaching, and assessment practices, and teacher education from a V-SCT perspective, addressing topics such as, but not limited to, the following:
- Role of mediation in learning and development, focusing on the range, affordances, and constraints of mediational means (including digital and multimodal) in L2 language classrooms.
- Role of language as a cognitive tool (e.g., languaging, collaborative dialogue, instructional interactions)
- Concept-based instruction in L2 classrooms and in teacher education programs - Dialectic relation between affect and cognition
- Assessment
- Activity theory-informed analysis of learner/teacher development
Papers in English and French will be considered. We welcome papers for inclusion in one of three sections: “Full-Length Research Articles” (original research), “Perspectives” (theoretical explorations of relevant issues), and “In the Classroom” (pedagogical focus). Please refer to the TESL Canada Journal author guidelines for more information:
Interested authors are invited to submit a 400-word abstract (including references) to by February 01, 2026. Please indicate clearly the category to which your abstract belongs. Notice of abstract acceptance will be emailed by March 01, 2026. Full manuscripts are due June 15, 2026, and will be subject to a rigorous blind review process. In line with SCT principles, we will follow a process that fosters collegial mediation and creates opportunities for scholarly development. In a two-phase process, each contributor will be asked to review a paper in the special issue (blind review). Following the first revisions and resubmission, all contributors will have the option to receive additional feedback through discussion at a meeting attended by SCT colleagues before submitting a final version. The special issue will be published in January-March, 2027.
If you have any questions or queries about this special issue, please contact Ibtissem Knouzi at

At the annual meetings of the AILA Executive Board with the AILA International Committee, AILA decides on the endorsement of language-related policies and guidelines developed by AILA partner organizations and AILA national affiliates.
Each endorsement results in a brief introduction of the endorsed policy and a hyperlink to the policy itself, as published by the AILA partner organization or national affiliate.
By formally recommending such policies, AILA aims to motivate, inspire, and support our national affiliates to develop their own policy of regionally anchored good practices in Applied Linguistics.
This call for proposals targets contributions to the publication of one or more volumes in applied linguistics, in French, entitled "Évaluation(s) et autonomisation dans l’enseignement-apprentissage des langues étrangères à l’université."
The challenge is to reflect on the articulation between assessment (in all its forms) and the development of autonomy. The publication will only accept contributions relating to this articulation. Articles involving empirical experimentation would be particularly welcome. In addition to research articles, we are also considering a section of shorter contributions presenting practices that explore this articulation.
The project is to publish a reference book in French, consisting of previously unpublished contributions. We are, however, open to proposals in other languages (in particular German and English). Accepted contributions will be translated into French. Please consult the attachment for details. Deadline for initial proposal (declaration of interest): September 30, 2019. Send your proposal to

Global Delegates Celebrate 60 Years of Linguistic Innovation
The 21st International Association of Applied Linguistics (AILA) World Congress concluded with great fanfare in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, marking a pivotal moment in the association’s 60-year history. Drawing over 1,700 onsite and online participants from across the globe, the congress not only celebrated AILA’s diamond jubilee but also underscored its continued influence in shaping the future of applied linguistics. Hosted by the Malaysian Association of Applied Linguistics (MAAL), this milestone event at the iconic Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre reflected both the rich heritage and the forward-thinking vision of the global linguistics community.
Against the dramatic skyline of the Petronas Twin Towers, the congress took on the theme "Linguistic Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Sustainability," sparking robust discussions on critical issues facing the field. With 14 thematic tracks, the event provided a platform for a wide range of research and ideas, making it a hub for academic exchange and collaborative innovation.
Bridging Cultures and Minds
Far more than just an academic symposium, the congress was a vibrant celebration of linguistic and cultural diversity. The opening ceremony featured a stunning showcase of Malaysian culture, with distinguished ambassadors, sponsors, and representatives from numerous countries in attendance. The congress was officiated by the President of AILA, Professor Azirah Hashim, the first Asian president of the Association. 80 successful recipients of the AILA Solidarity Awards were announced by the Chair of the Solidarity Awards committee, Prof. Kyria Finardi.

More than 1200 papers were delivered in three modes - onsite, hybrid and online at the congress featuring an array of keynote papers, featured papers, symposia, workshops, individual papers and posters. Six keynote papers were delivered onsite at the congress, featuring renowned applied linguists, Prof. Ingrid Pillar, Prof. Asmah Hj Omar, Prof. Catherine Nickerson, Prof. Enric Llurda, Prof. Low Ee Ling and Prof. Sinfree Makoni. One of the highlights of the congress was the 60th Anniversary Plenary symposium on the ‘History of Applied Linguistics’ which was led by Prof. Richard Smith alongside a panel consisting of Prof. John E. Joseph, Prof. Azirah Hashim, Assoc. Prof. Ruanni Tupas, Prof. Cristine Severo, Prof. Claire Kramsch and Assoc. Prof. Ashraf Abdelhay. There was also UNESCO presence in the Special Symposium by the Asia-Pacific Multilingual Education Working Group comprising UNESCO Bangkok and UNICEF EAPRO on ‘Partnerships, Policies and Practices on First Language-Based Multilingual Education in Asia and the Pacific’.
Social gatherings were equally memorable. Delegates enjoyed an array of cultural activities, from a lively cultural welcome reception to the gala dinner at the Royale Chulan Hotel, which featured traditional fashion shows, music, and dance. The Malaysian satay evenings and city walkabouts offered attendees the chance to explore Kuala Lumpur’s vibrant cityscape while building lasting connections within the global linguistic community.
A Future of Collaboration and Impact
Chaired by Professor Shameem Rafik-Galea and co-chaired by Associate Professor Cecilia Yin Mei Cheong, the event supported by the MAAL Committee and members, MP Events (the professional congress organizer), and the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre team, was a powerful reminder of AILA’s continued leadership in fostering innovation, research, and social impact within the field of applied linguistics.
AILA’s incoming president, Professor Kyria Finardi delivered her aspirations for the future of AILA under her leadership for the next chapter of AILA's journey. The congress concluded on a high note, with Professor Rafik-Galea presenting awards for the best poster presentations and delivering her closing speech, culminating in a celebratory end to the five-day congress.
The organising committee of AILA 2024 extends their heartfelt thanks to all sponsors, particularly ELS Language Centres Malaysia, the Sime Darby Foundation and the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, as well as to delegates, publishers, and contributors who made this event a resounding success.
