About the Journal

Contemporary English Teaching and Linguistics is an academic domain that critically engages with the theories, practices, and innovations shaping English language education and linguistic inquiry in the 21st century. Responding to the global demand for effective English communication, the field integrates insights from applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, discourse studies, second language acquisition, curriculum and syllabus design, and educational policy, with the overarching aim of advancing scholarly understanding and pedagogical practice in diverse cultural contexts.

In English teaching, contemporary approaches are defined by an emphasis on communicative competence, learner-centered pedagogy, intercultural awareness, and the cultivation of higher-order thinking skills. Current trends highlight the importance of contextualized language use, English for Specific and Academic Purposes, critical pedagogy, and the pedagogical affordances of emerging technologies, including mobile learning, artificial intelligence, and multimodal digital platforms. Such developments reflect the recognition of English as a global lingua franca and the necessity of preparing learners to participate effectively in varied sociocultural, academic, and professional domains worldwide.

Within linguistics, the field has moved beyond traditional structural analyses to embrace functional, cognitive, and critical perspectives on language. Areas of inquiry include world Englishes, language variation and change, translanguaging practices, multilingualism, language ideology, identity construction, and language policy. Research in this domain interrogates how English functions as both a communicative tool and a site of sociopolitical negotiation in contexts shaped by globalization, migration, intercultural contact, and digital transformation.

By integrating these dimensions, Contemporary English Teaching and Linguistics serves as a platform for scholars, educators, and policymakers to examine theoretical advances, empirical research, and innovative practices. It aims to foster inclusive, adaptive, and contextually responsive frameworks for English teaching and linguistic study while promoting dialogue across disciplines, cultures, and educational settings. Ultimately, the field contributes to shaping globally relevant knowledge that addresses the linguistic, pedagogical, and societal challenges of our time.
