Focus and Scope

Focus:

The Lingeduca: Journal of Language and Education Studies journal focuses on interdisciplinary research and studies in the fields of language and education. The journal aims to bridge language learning research with innovative, adaptive, and technology-based educational approaches, both in formal and informal settings. It also emphasizes the application of language theories in teaching and the utilization of pedagogical approaches that account for cultural, social, and technological factors in the learning process. Additionally, Lingeduca seeks to explore best practices in education and learning that support the development of 21st-century skills, such as digital literacy, cross-cultural communication, and lifelong learning.

Scope:

Language Studies:

  1. Foreign and Second Language Teaching: Research on strategies and methods for teaching foreign and second languages, including communicative approaches, task-based learning, and the use of technology to enhance language skills.
  2. Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching: Studies on the application of applied linguistics in language learning, including phonology, morphology, and syntax, and how these factors influence language acquisition.
  3. Psycholinguistics and Language Acquisition: Research on how individuals learn languages from a cognitive perspective, including neurological and psychological factors affecting language acquisition, both in first and second language learning contexts.
  4. Language and Cultural Identity: Research on the role of language in shaping individual and group identity, and its impact on cross-cultural learning and language policy in educational contexts.
  5. Technology and Innovation in Language Learning: The use of digital technology, including mobile apps, virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) in language teaching and learning, and an analysis of its impact on student learning outcomes.

Education Studies:

  1. Innovative Pedagogy and Digital Literacy: Research on innovations in pedagogical approaches, including project-based learning, collaborative learning, and interactive technology-based approaches to developing students' digital literacy skills.
  2. Educational Assessment and Evaluation: Studies on educational assessment methods, including formative and summative assessments and technology-based evaluations using data to personalize learning.
  3. Multicultural and Inclusive Education: Research on educational approaches focusing on inclusion, eliminating educational gaps, and integrating multicultural values in formal and non-formal education systems.
  4. Education Policy and Curriculum Development: Studies on how education policies affect curriculum design and teaching methods, as well as research on curriculum development that adapts to social, economic, and technological changes.
  5. Lifelong Learning and Professional Development: Research on the concept of lifelong learning and innovative approaches to enhancing skills and professional development in a dynamic global context.

The Lingeduca: Journal of Language and Education Studies accepts theoretical and empirical research that uses quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods approaches, as well as case studies that highlight practical implementation in Language and Education Studies.
