QUICK RESOURCE SHEET #9

Applied Linguistics

I’ve recently received a number of requests for information on Applied Linguistics. The first two sites noted below are quite large. Click on tabs labeled “resources” for useful information. Or surf a bit and find out about how to get travel grants to attend international conferences, or where to submit your brilliant articles for publication.

“CAL is a private, non-profit organization: a group of scholars and educators who use the findings of linguistics and related sciences in identifying and addressing language-related problems. CAL carries out a wide range of activities including research, teacher education, analysis and dissemination of information, design and development of instructional materials, technical assistance, conference planning, program evaluation, and policy analysis.”

A treasure trove of up-to-date articles and reviews with titles such as “Bilingualism and the Latin Language” and “Teaching and Researching Computer-assisted Language Learning.” (from Oxford Journals Online)
