Welcome

Welcome to the International Association of Applied Linguistics (AILA) Research Network (ReN) on Interlocutor and Instructor Individual Differences (IDs) in Cognition and Second Language Acquisition (SLA). The purpose of this ReN is to create awareness of existing and ongoing research on this topic, to encourage additional study and collaboration, and to provide support in the development and exchange of ideas on projects investigating how interlocutor and instructor IDs influence cognition and subsequent behavior related to SLA processes, as well as what this means both in theory and practice.

This ReN is convened by Laura Gurzynski-Weiss, Assistant Professor of Spanish Linguistics at Indiana University. You can contact her at lgurzyns@indiana.edu.
