Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching and learning, focusing on pedagogical approaches, learner characteristics, and teacher development. Studies examine the effectiveness of various instructional methods, such as task-based, project-based, and flipped classroom models, on language skills like writing, reading, listening, and speaking. The research also explores factors influencing learner autonomy, motivation, critical thinking, and self-efficacy, as well as the impact of job-related stressors and satisfaction on EFL teachers.
