Language Education and Multilingualism – The LANGSCAPE Journal (LEM)

ISSN (online) 2570-2432

Language Education and Multilingualism – The LANGSCAPE Journal (LEM) is an open-access, double-blind, peer-reviewed, online journal published on behalf of LANGSCAPE.

Originating in Europe, LANGSCAPE is an international research network engaging in multi- and plurilingualism, language education and language learning.

LANGSCAPE responds to the tendencies of linguistic, cultural, and methodological diversification in further language research by strengthening plurilingualism and diversity, and by giving special consideration to the social impact of mobility, migration, class, and gender as expressions of linguistic/cultural empowerment and integration. The general research concept of LANGSCAPE projects beyond disciplinary and geographic boundaries.

Language Education and Multilingualism – The LANGSCAPE Journal focuses on research topics from language and communication studies as well as from interdisciplinary and international educational contexts, relating inter alia to linguistic, cultural, sociological, political, and psychological fields.

Targeted researchers work in disciplines such as further language education and policy, linguistics, applied linguistics, language acquisition, cultural studies, sociology, translation studies, pedagogy and psychology.

The epistemological and methodological spectrum comprises empirical and hermeneutic approaches, realized in both conceptual and empirical studies, i.e. quantitative, qualitative, or multi-methods research studies.

Contributions are accepted in English, French, Spanish, and German. Further languages may be considered according to editorial and peer-review capacities. LEM pursues an adaptive language policy allowing for a publication practice in several languages.

LEM appears annually. The volumes are thematic and include a varia section, and a book-review section, available from volume six. LEM welcomes both original research (conceptual, theoretical, empirical) and theory-driven applied research. The publication is free for authors. Unsolicited proposals are welcome.
