Book Award
2024
The American Association for Applied Linguistics Book Award recognizes outstanding work in the field of applied linguistics. In bestowing this award, the association honors books that make an exceptional contribution to the field as a whole or to a specific area of specialization. The Book Award is given biennially, alternating every other year with the First Book Award. AAAL membership is not required of authors or editors for publishers to submit a nomination for consideration. AAAL will accept e-books only for book award submissions.
The 2024 award nomination is closed.
