The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) is an academic platform aimed at fostering a deep understanding of the interplay between linguistic expertise and the everyday use of language by people. The journal encourages scholars from around the world to submit research that not only focuses on language issues in specific regions or communities but also reveals how these issues are connected to global language phenomena and trends.

InJAL's international perspective has led it to cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to language teaching, language assessment, language policy, language planning, language variation, and sociolinguistics. The journal places special emphasis on research that can provide cross-cultural perspectives, promote improvements in language education practices, or have enlightening effects on language policy formulation. Additionally, InJAL supports research on emerging fields and challenges, such as multilingualism, the interaction between language and technology, and the evolution of language against the backdrop of globalization. By publishing this content, InJAL not only provides valuable resources for the academic community but also offers guidance and inspiration for the practical work of language educators, policymakers, and language professionals.
