The growing concern for ethics in applied linguistics may be attributed to attempts to stem the rising incidence of ethical lapses in order to ensure that the core ethical principles of (1) respect for persons, (2) yielding optimal benefits while minimizing harm, and (3) justice are preserved. Following a brief historical review of this topic, and building on the growing commitment to carry out ethical applied linguistic research, we map out seven research tasks that will enhance our understanding of how to extend this expanding research agenda. By inviting applied linguists to evaluate their methodological practices and those of their peers, we also argue for the need to develop the ethical dispositions of emerging applied linguists, with a view to create a more robust field.

应用语言学伦理学研究任务

应用语言学中对伦理学的日益关注可能归因于试图阻止不断上升的伦理失误发生率，以确保以下核心伦理原则：（1）尊重人，（2）在最大限度地减少伤害的同时产生最佳利益，以及（ 3) 正义得到维护。在对该主题进行简短的历史回顾之后，并在对开展伦理应用语言研究的日益承诺的基础上，我们制定了七项研究任务，以增强我们对如何扩展这一不断扩大的研究议程的理解。通过邀请应用语言学家评估他们和同行的方法实践，我们还主张需要发展新兴应用语言学家的道德倾向，以创建一个更强大的领域。
