Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal

Aims & Scope

Who are we? The Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal (CALJ) is a peer-reviewed journal published in Bogotá, Colombia by the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas for a global audience of professionals in language education interested in research and teaching issues in the field of Applied Linguistics, more specifically but not only for the Teaching of English. Teaching of other languages may also be of interest. It disseminates partial or final results of research in the field of language teaching as well as teaching experiences and theoretical reflections. The CALJ has proudly published articles by authors from Latin American countries, but also from the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, the United States, Canada and the Middle East. Therefore, we have a global readership that is permanently reported in Google Analytics. Currently, the journal is indexed in Redalyc, SciELO, Latindex, ERA, MLA and Publindex-Colombia. It is listed in the directories Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory, EBSCO Publishing, DOAJ, SHERPA/RoMEO. Focus and Scope The CALJ is an academic and research journal for a global audience of professionals in language education interested in research and teaching issues in the field of Applied Linguistics. It is a forum to publish studies exploring language teaching in a critical social amalgam, that is, in a complexity of social values and beliefs. The journal is focused on visibilizing teachers and researchers’ experiences aiming to enlighten conditions for learning; therefore, inspiring other teachers to engage in informed practices addressing ecological views of language education. This engagement also has to do with creating opportunities to teach and learn going beyond the instrumental view of language towards comprehending language as a constituent of reality. Language is then seen as a social practice that is questioned, as a way to construct locally relevant knowledge attempting to transform environments in which social injustice is perpetuated. T
