Centre for Applied Linguistics: Over 50 years defending the Spanish language

The Centre for Applied Linguistics (CLA, Spanish acronym), formerly Department of Literature and Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences of Cuba, was founded by Prof. Dr. Julio Vitelio Ruiz Hernández, on January 1st, 1971.

Owing to the excellent scientific results achieved by the Department, in 2000 it was established as Centre for Applied Linguistics attached to the Santiago de Cuba Territorial Office of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment (CITMA, Spanish acronym), under Resolution No. 86/2000 of the Minister of Science, Technology and the Environment.

Despite its small staff —20 employees—, the Centre conducts projects which have attained scientific results with a major impact in the linguistic and pedagogical fields across the country, chiefly in the national education system.
