About the Journal
Aims
Applied Linguistics welcomes submissions about language-related problems and solutions in real-world contexts. The journal aims to publish papers that appeal to its broad readership and make connections between scholarly discourses, theories, and research methods from a range of areas of study. Applied linguistics research typically has applied relevance for institutional practices in education, the workplace, healthcare, legal systems, and the media. The journal welcomes contributions which critically reflect on current, cutting edge theory and practice in the field.
The journal's Forum section is intended to stimulate debate between authors and the wider community of applied linguists and to afford a quicker turnaround time for short pieces. Forum pieces are typically a commentary on research issues or professional practices or responses to a published article. Forum pieces are required to exhibit originality, timeliness and a contribution to, or stimulation of, a current debate.
