Applied Linguistics sources on the Web

Applied Linguistics Association of Australia (ALAA)
The Association was established at a national congress of applied linguists held at the University of Newcastle in August, 1976, and is affiliated with the Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée (AILA) founded in 1965.
ALAA organises an annual conference, produces the journal Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, edits working papers in applied linguistics, and has established an online discussion group, APPLIX, which is open to anyone interested in the area of applied linguistics.

The American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL)
AAAL promotes principled approaches to language-related concerns, including language education, acquisition and loss, bilingualism, discourse analysis, literacy, rhetoric and stylistics, language for special purposes, psycholinguistics, second and foreign language pedagogy, language assessment, and language policy and planning.

Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL)
CAL is a private, nonprofit organization that has been involved in applying research and information about language and culture to educational, cultural, and social concerns. CAL was established in 1959 with three primary objectives: to improve the teaching of English as a second or foreign language, to promote the teaching of the less commonly taught languages, and to conduct research that will enhance the educational process. We have special interest in non-mainstream dialects of English, language and literacy in the workplace, language acquisition, bilingualism, language proficiency testing, and integrating language and content instruction in the classroom.

Big Applied Linguistics Database
Contains over 5,000 entries of information from books and journals in the fields of applied linguistics and English language teaching. It is designed primarily for students at Masters degree level, but would also be useful for researchers conducting initial searches in areas they are not familiar with.
