Editorial Description
The Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Language (JSSAL) is a high-quality, open-access, peer-reviewed international journal published semi-annually. JSSAL provides a platform for researchers, academics, professionals, and practitioners to communicate and share knowledge in the form of empirical and theoretical research articles, pilot studies, position papers, and reviews (scoping/systematic reviews, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, and book reviews).
Scope and Focus of the Journal of Research in Social Sciences and Language (JSSAL)
Within the social sciences, JSSAL focuses on teaching and learning in schools, society, higher education, and vocational training, using empirical research methods such as quantitative, qualitative, mixed, and Q methods.
It provides a forum for high-quality research on topics that explore language and language teaching, second and foreign language learning, and teaching at all levels from kindergarten to university.
