Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching

期刊简介：Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching is an international refereed journal devoted to research into all aspects of innovation in second or foreign language learning and teaching. It publishes research articles and innovative practice articles. It draws on a range of disciplines that share a focus on exploring new approaches to language learning and teaching. Changes in learners’ work, life, and study patterns and the use of new technologies for learning strongly impact on every aspect of language learning and teaching, from how we perceive the roles of teachers and learners, to how we adapt to new roles, from the materials and methods we develop to support learners in more flexible ways, to the research methodologies we use to investigate learning and teaching. The impact of globalisation, increased international mobility, and a need for more flexible ways of learning make a critical reflection on the changing needs of the learner necessary. The journal offers a forum for this kind of reflection and encourages researchers to explore the theoretical underpinnings of new pedagogies which focus on the development of and support for innovation in language learning. The journal will appeal to anyone interested in research into the development of or practical application of new methodologies in language teaching and learning. Its aims are: To publish research into the theoretical and methodological bases of innovative approaches in language education; To encourage dissemination and cross-fertilisation of policies and practice relating to innovation in pedagogies for language learning in different learning contexts. In the journal, the concept of innovation is broadly interpreted, and may be related to innovation in practice, innovation in policy, innovation in research methodologies, or any other form of innovation. It is important to consider the context in which the research is located, as clearly what is viewed as innovation in a well-resourced environment with, for example, access to the latest technologies, is different from the innovation that may occur in other contexts. For this reason, we require authors to be explicit in their articles about the ways in which their work constitutes innovation. The scope of the journal is intentionally broad, as it is intended to offer an interdisciplinary platform for all those interested in innovative pedagogies and methodologies. Articles may draw on fields as diverse as educational psychology, artificial intelligence, neurolinguistics, human-machine interaction, educational technologies, philosophy, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, multi-/plurilingual education, and others. Innovation in Language Learning and Teaching accepts two types of articles: 1) Full length research articles (no more than 8,000 words, and up to 9,000 words for research syntheses), which report on research whether it relates to pedagogy, policy, theoretical concepts or other relevant fields; 2) 'Innovative practice' articles (4,000-5,000 words), which report on an innovation in teaching, materials development, or another practical element of learning and teaching, preferably with the inclusion of some sort of evidence from evaluation. Examples of Innovative Practice articles are here and here . If you are considering submitting an Innovative Practice article, please see this video for more information. Both need to be of a high standard and be grounded in theory. Special Issues Please note the journal is not accepting special issue proposals at this time. Peer Review Policy All papers are anonymously peer reviewed by a minimum of two experts. Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal. Read the Instructions for Authors

【译文】《语言学习和教学创新》是一份国际参考期刊，致力于研究第二语言或外语学习和教学创新的各个方面。它发表研究文章和创新实践文章。它借鉴了一系列学科，这些学科都致力于探索语言学习和教学的新方法。学习者工作、生活和学习模式的变化以及新技术的使用对语言学习和教学的各个方面产生了强烈影响，从我们如何看待教师和学习者的角色，到我们如何适应新的角色，从我们为以更灵活的方式支持学习者而开发的材料和方法，到我们用来调查学习和教学的研究方法。全球化的影响、国际流动性的增加以及对更灵活的学习方式的需求使得对学习者不断变化的需求进行批判性反思是必要的。该杂志为这种反思提供了一个论坛，并鼓励研究人员探索新教学法的理论基础，重点关注语言学习创新的发展和支持。该杂志将吸引任何对语言教学和学习新方法的开发或实际应用感兴趣的人。其目标是： 发表语言教育创新方法的理论和方法基础的研究；鼓励与不同学习背景下的语言学习教学法创新相关的政策和实践的传播和交叉应用。在该杂志中，创新的概念被广泛解释，可能与实践创新、政策创新、研究方法创新或任何其他形式的创新有关。重要的是要考虑研究所处的环境，因为很明显，在资源丰富的环境中（例如，获得最新技术）所视为的创新与其他环境中可能发生的创新不同。因此，我们要求作者在文章中明确说明其工作构成创新的方式。该期刊的范围有意广泛，因为它旨在为所有对创新教学法和方法感兴趣的人提供一个跨学科平台。文章可能涉及教育心理学、人工智能、神经语言学、人机交互、教育技术、哲学、第二语言习得、社会语言学、多语言教育等多个领域。语言学习与教学创新接受两种类型的文章： 1）完整的研究文章（不超过8,000字，研究综合最多9,000字），报告研究是否涉及教育学、政策、理论概念或其他相关领域； 2) “创新实践”文章（4,000-5,000字），报告教学、材料开发或学习和教学的其他实践要素的创新，最好包含某种评估证据。创新实践文章的例子在这里和这里。如果您正在考虑提交创新实践文章，请观看此视频以了解更多信息。两者都需要具有高标准并有理论基础。特刊 请注意，该期刊目前不接受特刊提案。同行评审政策 所有论文均由至少两名专家进行匿名同行评审。作者可以选择在该期刊上发表黄金开放获取。阅读作者须知
