Second Language Research (SLR) is a leading peer-reviewed journal devoted to advancing the scientific understanding of second language acquisition and bilingualism. It publishes high-quality empirical studies, theoretical articles, and methodological reviews that contribute to the development of second language acquisition as a field. SLR serves as a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and graduate students in applied linguistics, language education, and related fields.
The journal covers a broad range of topics, including cognitive processes in second language learning, the role of input and interaction, individual differences, and the development of linguistic competence in a second language. It also features studies on bilingualism, multilingualism, and the effects of language contact. Second Language Research has been indexed in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science.
Researchers are encouraged to submit rigorous and innovative studies that push the boundaries of second language acquisition research and inform language teaching practice. It provides a forum for diverse perspectives and methodological approaches, promoting interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration. SLR's goal is to enhance the understanding of how second languages are learned and used in diverse contexts.
