ARiEAL Language Platform

Your Hub for Language Technologies and Research Services

About Us

Language is at the center of societal and human well-being and existence. Our centre for language research brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers and offers comprehensive data creation, analysis, processing, and dissemination expertise based on language-informed methods.

Benefits of working with ALP

Ability to provide a full cycle research/knowledge translation services – we take problems from “real world” settings, develop and implement a multi-methods research and experimental program to assess them, create and analyse the data in our lab, and from them on, communicate our findings to stakeholders, implement evidence-based solutions to their problems as well as measure their efficacy.

Our interdisciplinary research center is placed to provide services and support in a variety of areas, including collection and analysis of language data across advanced experimental and computational methods; typical and impaired speech production, speech comprehension, reading, and writing; language and literacy development in the first and second language; efficient language learning; and communication within and across communities.

With a history of working with Indigenous communities, communities of older adults, people with disabilities, and linguistic minorities, our experts are trained to work with academics and community partners by enhancing ethical and inclusive research practices and providing expertise on socially impactful research programs that benefit underserved communities around the world

ARiEAL provides access to the scientific knowledge, specialized equipment and laboratory facilities, and highly qualified personnel and expert staff to carry out this full cycle service.
