It's true that this page is still a stub, but the organization itself is well-known, respected, and influential in several sub-disciplines of linguistics, particularly in ESOL and second-language education (as it's a United States-based organization, that amounts to languages other than English). The group is also influential in the promotion of the study of less commonly taught languages. CAL also publishes policy papers that influences US legislation related to linguistic policy in the US.

Please be patient and give the article a chance to expand. babbage (talk) 14:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is not under any deletion procedure at present. As it is clearly a notable organization, it would be very unlikely to be nominated for deletion or deleted in the future. Thank you for making a positive new contribution to the encyclopedia.John Z (talk) 23:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
