Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

TESOL Quarterly publishes research on second language teaching and learning, focusing on pedagogical approaches, assessment, and the impact of technology. Articles explore digital multimodal composition, the use of generative AI in language education, and the integration of business English and English as a business lingua franca. The journal also addresses trauma in language education, lexical diversity, private tutoring, and the role of communicative intent in oral practice. Methodological considerations, including reflexivity and positionality, are also examined.
