Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on instructed second language acquisition (ISLA), examining the acquisition of linguistic structures, including morphosyntax, syntax, and vocabulary, across various languages and learner profiles. It investigates the effectiveness of different instructional interventions, pedagogical approaches, and learning environments, such as collaborative writing, glosses, and task-based language teaching. The journal also explores the role of learner factors like motivation, proficiency, and modality preferences, as well as the influence of neurolinguistics and teacher cognition on language learning.
