Research in Language and Education: An International Journal (RiLE) intends to bring together publications that investigate the intricate link between language and education and examine the intersection between these two fields. Proper education of any subject without a recourse to the use of language is almost impossible, and it is precisely this role of language in education that is of interest to the founders of the journal. The journal welcomes theory-driven research papers on all aspects of language education, and language in education. Papers are invited on studies exploring the mutual connection between these two fields: while studies may focus on either language or education, the explicit link to education (in language related manuscripts) and to language (in education related papers) should be expounded clearly in the submissions. All submissions are subject to editors’ initial screening, in-house examination and external peer review. In addition to empirical research studies exploring the link between language and education, research reports and state-of-the-art articles on the following topics will also be considered for publication, given that the connection between language and education is attended to:
Curriculum development
Classroom pedagogy
Language in the classroom
