Welcome to eRAL. ERAL (electronic Reviews in Applied Linguistics) is a database of reviews of recent studies in Applied Linguistics and Language Acquisition, Language Methodology and Pedadogy, and related fields. Each review is composed of a summary of the research issues and methods, the main findings, and suggestions for possible applications in the language classroom. The goal of this project is on-line access to a useful bibliography for language instructors. It is supported by a grant from the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Reviews may be searched in several ways. Enter the author's name or a word from the title or the source. Or select a topic from the drop-down menu "All Keywords." To view a complete list of all articles in the database, click here (note: this list may be large).
