INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LANGUAGE LEARNING
Welcome to the official website for the International Association for the Psychology of Language Learning. IAPLL is an interdisciplinary association of scholars with an interest in exploring the psychological dimensions of language learning and teaching. We aim to foster research, hold conferences, issue publications, cooperate with related organizations and carry on other activities for those interested in the study of the psychology of language learning and teaching throughout the world.
Call for IAPLL Board Nominations
Members are invited to submit nominations for election to the IAPLL Board. Serving on the board is an opportunity to contribute to the development of the association, support its activities, and help shape future initiatives. Members elected to the board will serve for the 2026–2028 term, continuing in their roles until the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at PLL7 in 2028.
Nominations may be submitted in two ways. A member may be nominated by at least two other IAPLL members, with the nominee’s agreement. Alternatively, members may nominate themselves, provided that their nomination is supported by two other IAPLL members. All nominations should be submitted to the IAPLL Secretary by email (secretary@IAPLL.com) no later than 22 April 2026. It should be noted that nominations are for general board membership, with specific roles and responsibilities to be determined by the board following the election. Nominees who agree to stand for election should submit an up-todate CV together with a brief statement outlining their motivation for joining the board.
Candidates must also confirm that their statement of motivation (but not their CV) may be made available in the members-only section of the IAPLL website during the election period so that members can review candidates’ statements before voting. Voting will take place during the AGM at the conference in China, with an anonymous online voting option available for members who are unable to attend the AGM in person. Candidates who are successfully elected to the board will be notified within one month of the AGM. Members who are interested in contributing to the work of the association, or who wish to nominate a colleague, are warmly encouraged to take part in the nomination process.
Submission Guidelines a) Compile all nomination materials into a single PDF document. b) Use the following subject line: “IAPLL Nomination – Award Name – Nominee’s Full Name”. c) Email the PDF to Prof. Chengchen Li who is acting Vice-President of IAPLL and coordinating all awards and scholarships at: chengchenli@sjtu.edu.cn Please note that failure to follow these guidelines may result in delays or disqualification. Additionally, only nominations containing all required materials will be reviewed. Important Dates Nomination Deadline: Monday, 13th April, 2026 Awards Notification & Presentation: PLL6 at Shantou University, China (May 20-24, 2026) Selection Process Nominations will be reviewed by the IAPLL Awards Committee and voted by the IAPLL Board based on the criteria outlined for each award, including the significance, originality, and impact of the nominee’s contributions to the psychology of language learning and teaching.
