About the Journal

E-JournALL is a web-based, peer-reviewed, open access, interdisciplinary, and multilingual academic journal.

E-JournALL adheres to the principles and guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The aim of E-JournALL is to publish outstanding research by talented researchers and practitioners carrying out research in the area of applied linguistics, with a strong focus on second/foreign language teaching and learning.. We are particularly interested in investigations into any of the following areas:

  • Applied Sociolinguistics;
  • Applied Pragmatics;
  • Bilingualism, Multilingualism, and Translanguaging;
  • Discourse and Interaction in the Language Classroom;
  • Language Teaching Methods and Practices;
  • Language Ideologies;
  • Applied Prosody, Phonology and Phonetics;
  • Humor in the Language Classroom.

All the disciplinary areas of E-JournALL concern both research and practice of teaching and learning English, Italian, and Spanish as Second Languages (SL), Foreign Languages (FL), and Heritage Languages (HL).

Submissions to E-JournALL are reviewed using a process of double-blind peer review.

E-JournALL serves as a venue for international scholarly debate in applied linguistics and ensures pluralism by welcoming contributions from authors affiliated with a wide range of institutions worldwide. E-JournALL makes sure that across the issues, a vast array of authors, reviewers, board members, editors, and editorial staff participate from different countries and institutions (see further details here).

All research articles and interviews undergo double-blind peer review. Editorials as well as book reviews and technology reviews are single-blind reviewed.
All submissions are evaluated for alignment with the scope of the E-JournALL, originality, methodological rigor, up-to-date state of the art, accuracy of bibliographic information, and depth of critical analysis.

E-JournALL publishes original papers in three different languages (English, Italian, and Spanish), which can be:

  1. Full-length articles with substantive research findings or applications of new methods or techniques for scientific linguistic analysis and/or classroom instruction.
  2. Teaching-oriented papers about any of the three languages represented by the journal, adressing successful pedagogical practices. (Please note that we do not accept pedagogical proposals. All articles regarding a pedagogical approach or innovation should include evidence of outcomes and include information about the approach or innovation, data collected to assess outcomes, analyses conducted using that data, and findings of the analysis.)
  3. Interviews with relevant scholars to address emerging topics, review advances in the field, and consider future trajectories for applied linguistics
  4. Technology and book reviews
  5. Editorials.

Reviewers must be free from conflicts of interest and disclose any circumstances that may affect their judgment. Editors do not act as reviewers in double-blind peer reviews, and should they submit their own work, they are fully excluded from all stages of the evaluation, including the final publication decision. E-JournALL maintains internal records of submissions, peer-review outcomes, reviewer forms, and acceptance rates in accordance with best editorial practices.

The publication frequency of E-JournALL is 2 issues per year. For more information, please contact ourjournall@gmail.com

By giving space to both scholarly and teaching-oriented papers, E-JournALL aims at fostering linguistic-informed teaching approaches and bridging the communication gap between researchers and educators.

Finally, to increase the distribution of all its papers and contribute to cross-language referencing, the E-JournALL team translates all abstracts and author bios into English, Italian, and Spanish.
