ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY
APPLIED LINGUISTICS INTEREST SECTION (ALIS)
TESOL's Applied Linguistics Interest Section (ALIS) looks at language as a communicative system from both theoretical and practical perspectives, applies research and theory to real world contexts, and explores implications for the enhancement of language learning and communication. It draws on linguistic disciplines (e.g., linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics), as well as on studies of a broad range of language phenomena.
ALIS explores implications for the enhancement of language learning and communication. It seeks to do so through the promotion of discussion, the exchange of information, and joint research.
The ALIS leadership team is as follows:
Chair: Anna Dina Joaquin
Chair-Elect: Sun-Young Shin
Past Co-Chairs: Polina Vinogradova and Bahiyyih Hardacre
Newsletter Editors: Natalia Dolgova, Heather Weger, and Ben White
