Association conferences

The Canadian Association of Applied Linguistics (ACLA) 2025 conference will be held at George Brown College in Toronto, in conjunction with the Congress of Humanities and Social Sciences. ACLA, an officially bilingual scholarly association with approximately 200 members from across Canada and elsewhere, is dedicated to advancing research and teaching in applied linguistics throughout Canada. This annual event plays a crucial role in fostering dialogue and collaboration among researchers, practitioners and stakeholders.
The 2025 Conference program will feature a variety of formats including plenary presentations, paper sessions, poster presentations, symposia, mentoring sessions, social events, and the ACLA general meeting. Paper sessions will consist of 20-minute presentations followed by a 10-minute discussion period, while poster presentations will be organized in a 90-minute block, allowing for dynamic interaction. Additionally, symposia will be scheduled for 2 to 2.5-hour blocks, providing ample time for in-depth exploration of topics. This conference promises to be a vibrant platform for sharing knowledge and advancing the field of applied linguistics in Canada and beyond.
