Historically, there has been frustration voiced by many Academic Language and Learning Development (ALLD) practitioners that their roles are often poorly understood even whit in their own institution. This could be attributed to the fact that ALLD job roles can vary significantly in terms of responsibilities and job titles across higher education institutions. This variation has potentially been exacerbated previously by the absence of a formal classification of ALLD practitioner job roles. Research was therefore undertaken to develop an international taxonomy of ALLD practitioner roles, encompassing principal job responsibilities and specialisms. This booklet is an interactive PDF to allow you to annotate it directly. The research project findings are published in the December 2025 edition of the Journal of Learning Development in Higher Education (https://doi.org/10.47408/jldhe.vi38.1546) This project was funded by the Association for Learning Development in Higher Education (ALDinHE)
