Iberica

Aims & Scope

Revista Ibérica was founded in 1996 under the auspices of AELFE, the European Association for Languages for Specific Purposes (Asociación Europea de Lenguas para Fines Específicos).

Since then, it has published academic contributions from experts in linguistics, discourse studies, professional communication and language pedagogy, and has become one of the best known journals in the field.

Since 2003 it has appeared regularly twice a year, with occasional special issues.

Aimed at all those interested in new trends in specialized communication and languages for specific purposes, Ibérica publishes scholarly but appealing articles about all aspects of specialized languages, how they are used, and how they should be taught.

Its Reviews section includes critical reviews of newly released publications.

Although Ibérica is now published entirely in English, we accept articles about other languages and reviews of books published in other languages.

All articles are accompanied by an abstract in Spanish.
