Welcome to the Language and Communication Research Lab (LCRL) at the College of Humanities & Sciences, Prince Sultan University. Our lab was first established as a research group (The Language Learning and Teaching Research Group) on January 1, 2018. Then, the research group expanded its areas of research and was transformed into a research lab on September 1, 2019 as the Applied Linguistics Research Lab (ALLAB). This was followed by changing the lab name to LCRL in January 2025. Our lab has always been determined to produce quality research, extend its members’ expertise to the community, provide support to budding researchers and offer relevant training and consultations. We welcome you to our lab website and will be very happy to collaborate with other researchers and research institutions to enhance our research output and services.
