The Database of Researchers in AL is a collection of profiles of TAAL members who have expertise in applied linguistics research. The profiles present research interests and experience as well as researchers’ availability to participate in research activities and collaboration, such as examining theses, reviewing research articles, and consultations on research projects.
You can view all researchers’ profiles (ranked alphabetically by first names) or search the profiles by name, key publications, research interests, affiliation, availability for collaboration, and geographical areas in which they are available to offer support.
All TAAL members are eligible to add their profiles to the database. If you have not been a member yet, simply apply for TAAL online at the “Join TAAL” displayed under the Membership menu. You will be asked whether you would like to include your profile in the database. Tick the box to request, add details, and your profile will be added to the database automatically once the application is completed. By doing so, you can enormously contribute to applied linguistics research development in Thailand!
