The "International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching" (IRAL) is an academic journal dedicated to the theoretical and practical issues of applied linguistics. It covers various aspects of language teaching and learning processes, including language acquisition, pedagogy, language testing and assessment, language policy, language planning, and the application of language technology. IRAL aims to provide a platform for linguists, educators, researchers, and policymakers to exchange their research findings and experiences in the field of language teaching and applied linguistics.

The journal pays special attention to the social and cognitive dimensions of language education, exploring the application of language in different social and cultural contexts, and how language education can meet the needs of diverse learners. IRAL encourages the use of various research methods, including qualitative research, quantitative research, and mixed-methods research, to promote a deeper understanding of the language teaching and learning process. By publishing high-quality research papers, IRAL aims to promote innovation and improvement in language education practice, enhance the quality and effectiveness of language teaching, and also provide a scientific basis for the formulation and implementation of language policy.
