Focus and Scope

JOLLT Journal of Languages and Language Teaching is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Universitas Pendidikan Mandalika, Indonesia. The journal advances research in language studies and language teaching by providing a forum for empirically grounded, theoretically informed, and methodologically rigorous scholarship. It welcomes contributions that connect linguistic inquiry with language education, language use, and the development of language-related knowledge and practice.

Aims

JOLLT aims to publish original research and scholarly reviews that deepen understanding of language learning, language teaching, linguistic phenomena, and related educational contexts. Contributions should articulate a meaningful research problem, engage critically with relevant scholarship, and provide findings or syntheses with implications beyond a narrowly described local setting.

Scope

  • First, second, and foreign language learning and teaching;
  • Language assessment, testing, and evaluation;
  • Second language acquisition and psycholinguistics;
  • Curriculum design, instructional materials, and language teacher development;
  • Multilingualism, multilingual education, language policy, and planning;
  • Sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and classroom or other discourse analysis;
  • Syntax, morphology, semantics, and related linguistic research;
  • Translation studies and language-mediated communication;
  • Literature as a resource for language teaching and learning; and
  • Technology-enhanced language learning and other interdisciplinary work with a clearly demonstrated contribution to language studies or language education.

Readership and Article Eligibility

The journal serves researchers, educators, postgraduate students, curriculum specialists, and practitioners in language and language education. JOLLT considers original research articles and review articles. Manuscripts that merely describe an educational activity without systematic analysis, or that have no substantive relationship to language or language teaching, fall outside its scope.

Editorial decisions are based on relevance, originality, research integrity, methodological soundness, and scholarly contribution, without discrimination based on authors' institutional or national background. See Author Guidelines for manuscript types and submission requirements.
