Welcome to the home page of the 
​University Council of General and Applied Linguistics 
(UCGAL) @linguisticsuk (Twitter)

​

​The Council was established in 2009, to provide a unified voice on public policy matters for linguistics within the UK higher education community. UCGAL links together major learned societies and associations in the field, with the following aims:
  1. to promote research, teaching and learning, and scholarship in general and applied linguistics;​

  2. to promote co-operation and co-ordination, and the sharing of expertise and good practice, between institutions, learned societies, professional associations and related bodies in the area of general and applied linguistics;

  3. to support and promote the health and sustainability of general and applied linguistics;​

  4. to represent general and applied linguistics in the co-ordination and formulation of policies and their adoption by appropriate national and international agencies.

​To help with these aims, we are currently collecting data via a UK linguistics census. If you are a linguist (PhD student, ECR, established academic) based in the UK, then please fill in the census and share it with your contacts!
