Institute of Applied Linguistics

The Institute of Applied Linguistics (ILA) was created in 1975, and since 1988, the ILA had its offices in the premises of the University of Bangui, Annex of KOLONGO, on Boulevard Charles de Gaulle. After the mutinies experienced by Bangui and keenly felt by Kolongo, an area held by the mutineers, all these premises of the University of Bangui were purely and simply systematically destroyed. This is how the Institute has been located since 1997 on the ground floor of building F of Cité Universitaire N°2.
