Overview

The Journal of Language Teaching and Learning Today (LTLT) is an international academic journal published by Researcher Publishers, an open-access platform created by researchers to promote collaboration among scholars, editors, and educators worldwide. LTLT is dedicated to advancing knowledge and innovation in the field of language education and serves as a facilitative forum for exchanging ideas, theories, and practices that shape the teaching and learning of languages in contemporary contexts.

Reflecting the mission of Researcher Publishers, LTLT supports academic collaboration and open dialogue across disciplines and regions. It welcomes empirical studies, theoretical explorations, and reflective practices related to curriculum design, pedagogy, assessment, and technology-enhanced learning. It also encourages interdisciplinary research that connects language education to broader educational and cultural issues.

LTLT adopts the Continuous Publishing Model (CPM), shifting the traditional issue-based publishing system to a dynamic article-centric approach. This is to accelerate the dissemination of research reports, ensuring that valuable findings reach our global readership as swiftly as possible. CPM allows articles to be published individually in their final form as soon as they are ready, without waiting for other articles to compile a complete issue. Accepted articles are typically published online within 10-20 days of final acceptance.

To avoid errors and delays caused by producing multiple articles for the same issue simultaneously, each article of LTLT will start from page 1. The unique Article Reference Number assigned to the manuscript during submission will serve as the primary identifier within an issue, replacing the traditional function of page numbers. The recommended citation format will incorporate the Article ID, instead of the page numbers. While articles are published individually online, LTLT will continue to organize them into triannual issues for archival purposes in January, May, and September to maintain a traditional structure in bibliographic databases. This compilation does not affect the individual publication date or citation of each article.

By providing a fair, transparent, and inclusive publication process, LTLT invites contributions from teachers, researchers, and practitioners around the world. Through its commitment to open access, LTLT seeks to make knowledge freely available, stimulate professional growth, and strengthen the global community of language educators and researchers.
