RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS The Centre encourages research and publishing to foster scholarly exchange and professional development among its staff and to contribute to the world-wide dialogue on key issues in applied linguistics, academic literacy and language education. Importantly, research informs curricular development. The Centre publishes the Asian Journal of Applied Linguistics. Teachers at the Centre also serve as editors or reviewers for international journals and publishers. Recent output includes articles in publications such as Instructed Second Language Acquisition, Language Teaching Research Quarterly, Journal of Communication and Education (JCE) and Journal of English for Academic Purposes. Centre teachers have also contributed to the organization of conferences and given plenary and keynote addresses. Such activities are supported by funding from a range of sources such as the Research Grants Council and Teaching Development Grants. Benati, A. G. • Benati, A. G. (2020).
