International Association of Applied Linguistics 2024

AILA 2024

Dr. Marcella Caprario presented her paper, ELF-informed instruction for Malaysian university students, at the AILA 2024 World Congress (12-16 August 2024, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). This presentation focused on a study that Dr. Caprario conducted in Malaysia under the support of a Fulbright Study/Research Grant from the U.S. government, making Malaysia an especially appropriate venue for the talk. During the conference, Dr. Caprario strengthened her international network through informal gatherings and conversations.

One of many such events is pictured: Dr. Long Li, Chinese University of Hong Kong; Dr. Mira Kim, University of New South Wales, Australia; Jennifer Brondell, Clemson University, U.S.; and Xiaoting Liang, Universiti Malaya, Malaysia. Dr. Caprario also had the opportunity to learn from other scholars, such as at the symposium on Mixed Methods Research, organized by Dr. Mehdi Riazi. Not pictured are connections with mentors Dr. Jagdish Kaur, University Malaya; Dr. Heath Rose, Oxford University; and Dr. Eric Friginal, Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
