第14届世界应用语言学大会将于2005年7月24日至29日在威斯康辛州麦迪逊市举行，由美国国家科学基金会赞助。本次会议是国际应用语言学家的重要学术会议，吸引了来自世界各地的领先学者、研究人员和应用语言学的高级学生。本次会议的非正式名称为AILA 2005，是AILA （l'association internationale de lingutique applique / International Association of Applied Linguistics）第14届三年一次的会议。AILA是由37个国家或地区应用语言学协会组成的国际联合会，是该领域唯一真正的国际学术组织。该协会的宗旨是促进应用语言学各领域的研究和教学，传播应用语言学的研究成果，并促进这些领域的国际和跨学科合作。应用语言学涉及语言相关问题的原则性方法，包括语言教育，习得和丧失，双语，话语分析，司法语言学，识字，修辞和文体学，特殊用途语言，心理语言学，第二语言和外语教学法，语言评估，语言政策和规划。AILA 2005将以独特的方式为加强和改进应用语言学的科学和其他原则研究做出贡献，在2004年至2006年期间提供该领域的主要国际会议。会议将成为交流和传播来自世界各地的研究成果和理论观点的主要论坛，涉及广泛的相关主题。除了通过会议本身的论文、专题讨论会或海报产生知识外，AILA的每个科学委员会将在AILA 2005上举行会议，规划政策和项目，以影响国际应用语言学各自的研究领域。《2005年国际语言教育法案》在语言学习和教学、语言政策、双语、通信系统、多媒体技术、语言评估、口译服务、扫盲和群体间关系等领域的改善可以为社会带来广泛的好处。AILA 2005的长期影响将通过在会议上发表的学术论文、编辑书籍、期刊文章和网站来保证。

The 14th World Congress of Applied Linguistics will be held July 24-29, 2005 in Madison, Wisconsin, with support from the National Science Foundation. This conference is the major scholarly meeting of applied linguists internationally, attracting leading scholars, researchers, and advanced students of applied linguistics from around the world. Known informally as AILA 2005, this conference is the 14th tri-annual meeting of AILA (l'association internationale de linguistique applique / International Association of Applied Linguistics). AILA is an international federation of 37 national or regional associations of applied linguistics, and the only truly international scholarly organization in this field. The objectives of AILA are to promote research and teaching in all fields of applied linguistics, to disseminate the results of this research, and to promote international and interdisciplinary cooperation in these fields. The discipline of Applied Linguistics involves principled approaches to language-related concerns, including language education, acquisition and loss, bilingualism, discourse analysis, forensic linguistics, literacy, rhetoric and stylistics, language for special purposes, psycholinguistics, second and foreign language pedagogy, language assessment, and language policy and planning.AILA 2005 will contribute in distinctive ways to the enhancement and improvement of scientific and other principled inquiry in applied linguistics by providing the major international conference in this field in the years 2004 to 2006. The conference will be the leading forum for the exchange and dissemination of research findings and theoretical perspectives from around the world on a great range of related topics. In addition to the production of knowledge through papers, symposia, or posters at the conference itself, each of AILA's scientific commissions will hold meetings at AILA 2005, planning policies and projects directed at impacting their respective fields of inquiry in applied linguistics internationally. Broad benefits from AILA 2005 can be expected for society as improvements in such areas as language learning and teaching, language policies, bilingualism, communication systems, multi-media technologies, language assessment, interpreting services, literacy, and intergroup relations. The long-term impact of AILA 2005 will be assured through publication of scholarly papers presented at the conference in edited books, journal articles, and a website.
