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.
