Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on second language acquisition and education, particularly exploring the implications of the Multilingual Turn. It examines how to dismantle monolingual and prescriptivist ideologies in language teaching to embrace multidialectal and multilingual approaches. The scope includes research on language attitudes, the social justice aspects of dialect representation, and pedagogical applications for diverse learners. It also investigates the role of technology, such as generative AI and virtual reality, in language learning and assessment, and explores concepts like symbolic competence and transcultural understanding.
