About the Journal
The International Journal of Language Studies (ISSN ; 3078 - 2244) is a prestigious peer-reviewed journal committed to the advancement and dissemination of cutting-edge research in the multifaceted field of language studies. We strive to be a leading platform for the exploration and discussion of linguistic phenomena and their applications in various contexts.
Scope and Focus:
- Linguistics: We publish articles that delve into the theoretical and applied aspects of linguistics, covering syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, and pragmatics. Our aim is to highlight novel theoretical perspectives and empirical findings that push the boundaries of our understanding of language structure and function.
- Language Acquisition: Research on both first and second language acquisition is a core focus. We welcome studies that examine the cognitive, social, and educational processes involved in language learning, including the development of language skills in different age groups and contexts.
- Language Teaching: We are dedicated to advancing methodologies and practices in language teaching and pedagogy. Submissions that offer insights into innovative teaching strategies, curriculum design, and the use of technology in language education are highly encouraged.
- Sociolinguistics: Articles exploring the relationship between language and society, including language variation, language change, language policy, and multilingualism, are central to our journal. We aim to provide a platform for research that addresses the social dimensions of language use and its impact on communities.
- Applied Linguistics: We publish research that applies linguistic theory to practical problems and real-world issues. This includes studies on language assessment, language in professional contexts, and language intervention strategies.
Goals and Objectives:
- Fostering Scholarly Dialogue: IJLS seeks to create a forum for researchers, educators, and practitioners to engage in meaningful discussions and exchanges about contemporary issues and advancements in language studies.
- Promoting Global Understanding: By providing access to high-quality, peer-reviewed research, we aim to contribute to a deeper global understanding of language phenomena and their implications for communication, culture, and education.
- Supporting Innovation: We are committed to showcasing innovative research and methodologies that challenge existing paradigms and offer new perspectives on language-related issues.
Our editorial team, composed of leading experts in the field, ensures that every submission undergoes a rigorous peer-review process to maintain the highest standards of academic excellence. We are dedicated to making valuable research accessible to a global audience and advancing the field of language studies.
Current Issue
Building on the success of prior volumes, the second issue of the International Journal of Language Studies (IJLS) Volume 2, titled Emerging Pedagogies and Technologies in Language Education, delves into transformative developments reshaping the landscape of language learning and teaching. This issue highlights innovative pedagogical approaches and cutting-edge technologies that address contemporary challenges and opportunities in language education. Key themes include the application of adaptive learning systems to personalize language instruction, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance teaching methodologies and learner outcomes, and the use of immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) to create engaging, experiential learning environments. Additionally, the issue emphasizes inclusive pedagogies designed to support multilingual learners and foster equitable access to education in diverse linguistic communities. Through a collection of research articles, case studies, and theoretical discussions, this volume provides actionable insights and evidence-based strategies for educators, researchers, and policymakers. It aims to inspire continued innovation and collaboration in the field, addressing the evolving needs of learners in a rapidly changing global context.
