ILT - Interconnected Learning and Teaching. International Journal for Foreign Languages

The Interconnected Learning and Teaching. International Journal for Foreign Languages (ISSN: 3061-5283, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University Publishing House) publishes research papers in the field of Education and Teaching Foreign Languages. Papers published in the ILT Journal address themes of major interest to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers working in different international contexts related to foreign language and multilingual communication. The journal publishes original, significant, and rigorous contributions to the field of education, both initial and continuing, including here articles from or about the work of academic staff involved in, and responsible for, initial teacher education, continued professional development and the broad field of research into the contribution of the higher education sector  to the education of teachers. This includes second and third language education (policy, curriculum, pedagogy or evaluation in education), issues related to immersion education, content-based language teaching also for LSP and specialized content, CLIL, bi/multilingualism, content and medium-of-instruction.

Submitted papers must be of a quality and content relevant to an international readership. The aims and scope of the journals are to:

  • Publish high quality papers that are of international significance in terms of design and/or findings;
  • Publish papers on topics that are of international significance across educational contexts and which discuss explicitly how the findings of the paper can contribute to research, policy, or practice beyond the context in which the original work is undertaken;
  • Promote greater equality and representation in academic publishing and be inclusive of a variety of knowledge traditions. This means that papers that challenge established paradigms and present alternative approaches to educational research are of special interest to us;
  • Encourage collaboration between international teams of researchers to create special issues on these topics;
  • Publish papers that are accessible to a wide audience of educationalists with various backgrounds.

ILT Journal welcomes scholarly discussions of new issues in the field, which would include original and rigorous analyses of the policies and practices involved in preparing people to work in education at any level. ILT Journal publishes theoretical, conceptual, as well as qualitative or quantitative empirical studies, funded research projects and review articles, presented as a critical assessment of the material summarized.
