CHAPELLE AAAL President, 2006–2007 Welcome to the annual AAAL conference! This year marks our 30th anniversary as a professional organization. It is an ideal occasion to thank the founders of AAAL and all of the past leadership responsible for bringing us to this point in our collective professional life. Today it is difficult to imagine our individual professional lives without this organization, and its central event—the annual conference. I invite you to reflect on AAAL’s history with the help of the memories of some of AAAL’s past presidents that appear on the AAAL Website. Our past presidents express the hope they felt 30 years ago in creating something new, the uncertainty that engulfed the move to independence, and the ultimate satisfaction at having been instrumental in the creation and evolution of our profession through AAAL. When AAAL began 30 years ago, the intellectual and political scene in the United States did not provide an obvious space for our organization. But haven’t things changed! As you participate in the conference, note the significance of our work for today’s critical issues, including language assessment, language learning, language policy, and particularly, Spanish language issues in the United States! As you participate, reflect on how you might promote the continued development of AAAL. To engage in AAAL business, I invite participants to attend the rules and resolutions committee meet- ing on Sunday, April 22 (1:00 pm - 2:00 pm in the Hilton Costa Mesa: Catalina II), the business meeting on Monday, April 23 (12:45 pm - 2:00 pm in the Hilton Costa Mesa: Pacific Ballroom), and the meeting of the Advocacy Action Group on Monday, April 23 (7:30 – 9:00 pm in the Hilton Costa Mesa: Emerald Bay I). The time is right for AAAL to continue to develop and contribute to the intellectual infrastructure of the profession and to language agendas in education and public life. from the Conference Chair KATHLEEN BARDOVI-HARLIG First Vice-President, 2006–2007 Welcome to AAAL 2007 in Costa Mesa, California! I am particularly pleased to be able to welcome you to my home state. This year’s conference has a full schedule of six plenary speakers, five invited colloquia, the Language Learning Roundtable celebrating 30 years of AAAL, the invited joint ILTA/AAAL symposium, nearly 500 papers, and a record number of colloquia. In honor of the Spanish-language heritage of California (and the United States more broadly) we have featured the theme of Spanish in the US with a plenary, an invited colloquium, and a special strand for this year. I would like to invite you to visit the poster sessions as listed in the program. For any given strand, papers and poster sessions are in complementary distribution, so that no poster is scheduled across from papers in the same strand. This should give all participants a chance to view the posters and discuss them with the presenters and colleagues. Please join us as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of our professional organization at the receptions, roundtables, and various business meetings where you can share your vision of the future of the association. As Program Chair, I have many people to thank: Associate Chair César Félix-Brasdefer, Local Chair Robin Scarcella, Program Assistant Marda Rose, and Exhibits Liaison, Linda Harklau. Thank you to Robert Ranieri at the AAAL Business Office and to our program production team, Karin Dahlgren, Beth Clark, Erin Lavin, Aarnes Gudmestad, Maria Hasler, Hyun Kyoung (Susan) Seo, and Yi-Ting Wang. I would like to express my appreciation to Vineet Bansal of CLEAR at Michigan State University for maintaining our online submission and reviewing system and our online database. Thanks to graphic artists, Yasmin Vahdatpour for designing our logo and Regina Harlig for the cover design. Thanks to the sixteen strand coordinators and all the abstract reviewers. Without peer review we cannot have the high quality conference that is AAAL. The annual AAAL meeting is intended to be a time of exchanging ideas, learning, catching up with friends and colleagues, and moving the field of applied linguistics forward. I hope that you will find the 2007 conference to be one of discovery and enrichment.
