Aims & Scope

The Canadian Journal of Applied Linguistics is an open access, bilingual, scientific, and professional journal that publishes empirical research (framed within quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods paradigms), theoretical articles, essays, and original literature reviews.

The CJAL only considers manuscripts that have clear implications for language teaching, learning or use.

CJAL publishes these texts electronically in English or in French.

The articles, usually between 15 and 20 of them, and book reviews are grouped to constitute three issues of the journal per year.

There is one special issue on a specific theme each year.
