Language Learning Journal (LLJ) provides a forum for scholarly contributions on current aspects of foreign language and teaching. LLJ is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is intended for an international readership, including foreign language teachers, language teacher educators, researchers and policy makers. Contributions, in English, tend to assume a certain range of target languages. These are usually, but not exclusively, the languages of mainland Europe and ‘Community Languages'; other languages, including English as a foreign language, may also be appropriate, where the discussion is sufficiently generalisable.

A MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS
The Language Learning Journal welcomes contributions which focus upon major issues influencing the foreign language teaching profession. Articles, which should have a bearing, directly or indirectly, on classroom practice, will draw on theoretical, conceptual and empirical developments in foreign languages and adjoining disciplines in the UK and beyond.
