Ceanglaíonn IRAAL léachtóirí teanga, múinteoirí teanga, agus taighdeoirí sa teangeolaíocht, sa teangeolaíocht fheidhmeach, agus sa tsochtheangeolaíocht le pobal gníomhach atá ag coinneáil suas leis na forbairtí teanga is déanaí agus ag tairiscint léachtaí agus seimineáir ar fud na hÉireann. Téann stair IRAAL siar go dtí a bunaíodh é i 1975 chun tacú le taighde sa teangeolaíocht fheidhmeach agus ghinearálta in Éirinn. Tá IRAAL cleamhnaithe le Cumann Idirnáisiúnta na Teangeolaíochta Feidhmí (AILA) agus tá sé mar aidhm aige tacú le taighde trí sheimineáir, léachtaí, comhdhálacha agus ceardlanna a eagrú. I measc a chuid foilseachán tá an iris acadúil ar líne bhliantúil dhátheangach, a bhfuil rochtain oscailte uirthi TEANGA chomh maith le himleabhair speisialta ar ábhair ar leith. Tá an bhallraíocht oscailte do gach duine a bhfuil spéis acu i dteangacha nó sa teangeolaíocht.
