The Journal of Applied Linguistics was launched in 2004 with the aim of advancing research and practice in Applied Linguistics as a principled and interdisciplinary endeavour. The journal seeks material that highlights the evidence in establishing claims of relevance to practice in Applied Linguistics research and has a special concern for research methodology through a focus on research tools, cross-disciplinary contributions, issues of ethics and research participation. This focus underscores the point that methodological issues within Applied Linguistics need a different kind of airing to the ways these are discussed in cognate disciplines such as sociology, education, psychology. Language-specific methodological debates around case studies, and the call for a mixing of methodologies within Applied Linguistics more generally will serve a long-awaited need for younger scholars engaged in postgraduate and in funded research.
Each annual volume also contains a selection of special features such as editorials; debates/dialogues on specific themes/keywords; interviews by specialists with key scholars; review articles; synopses of funded projects; doctoral research reports; book notices on specific domains. Please note that the journal does not publish book reviews per se.
