Journal of Language, Identity and Education

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Language, Identity, and Education is an international forum for original research on the intersections of language, identity, and education in global and local contexts.

We are interested in interdisciplinary studies that examine how issues of language impact individual and community identities and intersect with educational practices and policies.

In order to publish in JLIE, a study must have a central focus on second, foreign, minority, heritage, or indigenous languages (or non-standard dialects) and their intersection with either identity and/or education
