LANGSCAPE

 

LANGSCAPE

LANGSCAPE offers a publication forum to the scientific community through the special-interest e-journal Language Education and Multilingualism (LEM). Launched in 2018, LEM is a peer-reviewed, open access academic journal.

The LANGSCAPE research network responds to the tendencies of linguistic, cultural, and methodological diversification in further language research and teaching by strengthening plurilingualism and diversity. As a network, LANGSCAPE gives special attention to the complex and dynamic relationship between processes of mobility and migration, social, cultural and linguistic diversity and diversification, and linguistic and educational practices. Further, the research concept of LANGSCAPE projects beyond disciplinary and geographic boundaries.

 

Language Education and Multilingualism (LEM)

Leaning on the LANGSCAPE research concept, LEM focuses on research topics from language and communication studies as much as from interdisciplinary and international contexts, relating inter alia to educational, linguistic, cultural, sociological, political and psychological fields. The methodological spectrum comprises hermeneutic and empirical approaches, realised in both conceptual and empirical studies.

LEM reaches out to a readership of researchers and educators within a broad spectrum of disciplines such as further language education, language policy, educational and applied linguistics, language acquisition studies, cultural studies, educational sociology, translation studies and psychology.

To ascertain highest academic standards and quality, LEM implements double-blind peer-review procedures. LEM publishes original research only. It pursues an adaptive language policy allowing for a multi-/plurilingual publication practice. Contributions will be accepted in English, French, Spanish and German. Further languages may be considered according to editorial and review capacities.

LEM appears annually. The volumes are thematic and include a varia section. From vol. 6 onwards, LEM features a book review section. Publishing in LEM is free of costs for authors. Full open access is realised by publication under the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 deed. Unsolicited proposals are welcome.

LEM is hosted on the e-doc server of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
