Aims and Scope

Scientific English aims to provide a dedicated platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to disseminate high-quality, original research and scholarly contributions on English education, linguistics, and literature. The journal seeks to promote innovative research methodologies, and advance knowledge on English language studies. It encourages explorations of both theoretical and practical implications, contributing to the enrichment of pedagogical practices, linguistic understanding, literary appreciation, and other applications of scientific English across diverse academic and professional settings.

The journal welcomes submissions that investigate a broad range of topics within English language education, linguistics, and literature, including, but not limited to:

  • Education: This includes research on second language acquisition, language teaching methodologies (e.g., communicative language teaching, task-based learning, technology-enhanced learning), curriculum development, materials design, language assessment, teacher education, learner motivation, intercultural communication in language education, and the application of linguistic and literary theories to language pedagogy. Submissions may focus on various educational contexts, from primary and secondary schools to higher education and adult learning.
  • Linguistics: This encompasses research on various branches of linguistics, such as theoretical linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), applied linguistics (including sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, corpus linguistics, discourse analysis), historical linguistics, and computational linguistics, particularly as they relate to English language education and/or the analysis of English literature. Studies exploring the intersection of linguistics with literary analysis or language pedagogy are particularly encouraged.
  • Literature: This area covers research on English literature from all periods and genres (poetry, prose, drama), literary theory and criticism, comparative literature (especially as it relates to English literature), postcolonial literature, world literature in English, cultural studies, film studies, creative writing, and the application of literary analysis to enhance language learning and cultural understanding. Studies that explore the linguistic features of literary texts or the use of literature in language education are of particular interest.
