The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) publishes articles that explore the relationship between expertise in linguistics, broadly defined, and the everyday experience of language. Its scope is international in that it welcomes articles which show explicitly how local issues of language use or learning exemplify more global concerns.

Read the full Aims and Scope.

InJAL is published in co-operation with AILA. The union promotes the goal of encouraging international scholarship that both the Journal and the Association share. AILA members receive a 20% discount on InJAL.
