International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (IRAL)

Editors: Peter Jordens and Eric Kellerman
Assistant Editor: Kaoru Yoshioka

ISSN 0019-042X

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching is
devoted to problems of general and applied linguistics in their various
forms. The language of publication is English.


Statement from the new editors:

Following in the tradition established by Professor Gerhard Nickel, the
new Editors wish to maintain IRAL's long-term interest in areas of
research which concern language in all its forms. We do not believe in
narrow specialization, but envisage a journal whose contributions will
continue to speak to a wide audience of scholars, practitioners and
students. In this way, we also hope to put readers in touch with work
with which they might not ordinarily come into contact, but which might
nonetheless prove interesting and relevant. We would therefore welcome
contributions on first and second language acquisition and attrition
(including sign language and gesture), bilingualism, language contact,
pidgins and creoles, Language for Specific Purposes, instructed language
learning, language technology, mother-tongue education, lexicology,
terminology and translation. Whatever the topic, our first criterion for
selection is that papers should be theoretically grounded and based on
careful research and method.
