The Modern Language Association of America, established in 1883, is a prominent organization of scholars and educators in the field of humanities, particularly language and literature. It aims to promote the study and teaching of language and literature through various initiatives, publications, and conferences. The MLA is widely recognized for its influential publications, such as the "PMLA" journal and the "MLA Handbook," which provide essential guidelines for academic writing and citation in the humanities.

Through its advocacy and research efforts, the MLA plays a crucial role in shaping the landscape of literary studies and higher education. It fosters a community of scholars who engage in critical discussions about literature, culture, and language, making it an integral part of the academic discourse in these fields. The association also provides resources and support for educators, helping them navigate the challenges of teaching in an ever-evolving academic environment.
