Aims and Scope

The Journal of Language Acquisition and Teacher Education (LATE) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access journal, published by Researcher Publishers. LATE aims to strengthen the link between theory, research, and practice in language acquisition and teacher education. It welcomes studies that explore language learning processes, teacher knowledge and identity, curriculum and materials development, assessment practices, and the integration of language acquisition research into teaching. LATE encourages interdisciplinary submissions that draw on linguistics, psychology, education, and applied language studies. LATE invites the following types of manuscripts:

• Research Articles (around 7,000 words, including references and appendices): Reports of original, methodologically rigorous studies that address issues in language acquisition or language teacher education.
• Research Syntheses (around 6,000 words, excluding references and appendices): Reviews or bibliometric studies that critically examine and synthesize existing scholarship to identify emerging themes, methodological trends, and research gaps in the field.

If you have a manuscript ready, please consider submitting it to LATE.
