The American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL) is an American organization of scholars interested in applied linguistics.

The goal of the organization is to provide an annual venue for scholars of the multi-disciplinary field of applied linguistics to share their research. It promotes an evidence based and principled approach to language related research including language education, acquisition and loss, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, literacy, rhetoric, discourse analysis, language assessment, policy, planning, and more.

AAAL is an affiliate of the International Association of Applied Linguistics (Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée, AILA).[1]
