Applied Linguistics Interest Section (ALIS)
Published on February 26, 2024
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: Muhammad Alasmari
- Past Chair: Rashad Ahmed
- Applied Linguistics Forum Editors: Andy Jiahao Liu and Raj Khatri
- Community Manager: Shima Farhesh
- Social Media Coordinator: Miriam Moore
- Member-at-Large: Mimi Li
- Board Liaison: Cynthia Wiseman
