It is aimed at scholars and professionals working in the field of linguistics, literature and foreign language teaching. It is one of the few Slovene journals that publishes articles in the fields of linguistics and literature in foreign languages, and the only journal that publishes papers in the field of language teaching methodology with reference both to the foreign languages taught in Slovenia and Slovene as a foreign language.
