Academic English Language Research is in the process of establishing a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to facilitate research, collaboration, and teacher professional identity. We are excited to begin this new chapter of this organization. The AELR Global’s goal is to encourage the practitioner/scholar model and to incentivize action based research on all levels of ESOL instruction that culminates in information dissemination at conference, seminars, forums, and through publications. AELR Global will host academic gatherings focusing on methods for collaboration, research, presenting, and publishing in ESOL. Further, AELR Global intends to establish grants or funding for individuals participating in local ESOL activities.
