Elia - Impact Factor, Indexing, Rank, and APC 2026

Aims & Scope

ELIA: Estudios de Lingüística Inglesa Aplicada (Studies in Applied English Linguistics) is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal published once a year by the Research Group The English Language in University Settings based at the University of Seville (Spain).

The research group was founded in 1995 and has been sponsored by the Andalusian Department of Education as part of Andalusia’s Regional Government since its origin.

Nowadays a team of 25 university professors (belonging to the Editorial Board, Board of Advisors and Board of Referees) from various educational institutions, both at the national and international level, contribute their professional endeavor to the journal.

In ELIA Journal the technical term “applied linguistics” has always been interpreted as a generic concept embracing a rapidly growing multidisciplinary megafield that makes use of and reorients the scientific knowledge of human language offered by various disciplines (e.g., linguistics, psychology, sociology, neurobiology, pedagogy, anthropology, etc.) so as to address a wide range of theoretical, applied, and practical questions whose shared aim lies in performance phenomena and problems related to verbal communication in the “real world.” However, given the extremely broad scope that this megafield has achieved in the 21st century, contributions to ELIA are mainly related to the following applied linguistics fields: Issues in non-native/additional (L2) acquisition/learning.

Issues in L2 teaching.

Issues in L2 discourse/pragmatics.

Issues in bilingualism/multilingualism.
