The International Journal of Applied Linguistics (InJAL) publishes articles that explore the relationship between expertise in linguistics, broadly defined, and the everyday experience of language. Its scope is international in that it welcomes articles which show explicitly how local issues of language use or learning exemplify more global concerns.

'InJAL plays an important role in fostering creative interdisciplinarity within high quality applied linguistic research.' Ben Rampton, King's College London, UK

'Applied Linguistics is that critical space where linguistic theory and knowledge engage with the diverse worlds of lay and professional practice. InJAL has already broken new ground in reassessing how we develop those relationships. It is a journal best placed to promote a revitalised, more open and more self-aware Applied Linguistics.' Nikolas Coupland, University of Wales, Cardiff, UK

'InJAL is in my view an excellent journal. Its scholarly content is of a consistently high quality, and it engages with current issues in applied linguistics in a very effective way, not only by publishing papers by key people in the field, but by encouraging critical debate...No other journal has brought these contemporary and contentious issues so strikingly into the open.' Henry G. Widdowson
