Aim and Scope of ELJ

Eddissi Languages Journal is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published semi-annually by the Theoretical and Applied Linguistic Studies Laboratory (TALSL) at Mohamed Bou Diaf University of M’Sila, Algeria. The journal aims to advance knowledge and promote high-quality academic research in linguistics and literary studies, serving a diverse international readership of researchers, practitioners, and scholars.

The journal publishes original research articles in English and French that address a wide range of topics within theoretical and applied linguistics, as well as literary studies. Its scope includes, but is not limited to, language teaching and learning, language testing and assessment, Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), English for Specific Purposes (ESP), pragmatics, sociolinguistics, critical discourse analysis, curriculum development, classroom-based research, and language policy and planning. In addition, the journal welcomes rigorously conducted research in literary studies that reflects contemporary theoretical, critical, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

Eddissi Languages Journal adopts a broad and inclusive editorial policy, encouraging contributions from different linguistic, cultural, and academic traditions. The journal does not adhere to or promote any particular theoretical orientation or methodological paradigm; instead, it values diversity of approaches and interdisciplinary scholarship that contribute meaningfully to the field.

Manuscripts are evaluated on the basis of originality, academic merit, methodological soundness, clarity, and relevance to the journal’s scope and international audience. The journal is committed to upholding the highest standards of publication ethics and follows internationally recognized guidelines on editorial transparency, academic integrity, and ethical publishing practices.
