About the Journal

JURNAL SMART

Journal of English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics

JURNAL SMART was first published in 2015 as an academic journal dedicated to advancing research in English Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics. Since its inception, the journal has served as a platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners to disseminate high-quality research and theoretical contributions.

Initially, the journal focused on areas such as English language teaching and learning, teacher education and training, language assessment, translation, vocabulary studies, curriculum and syllabus design, semantics, syntax, discourse analysis, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, morphology, psycholinguistics, and English language skills and teaching methods.

Over time, the journal has expanded its scope to reflect contemporary developments in language studies. The current areas of interest include:

  • English Language Pedagogy
  • English Language Literacy
  • English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
  • ELT Materials Development and Evaluation
  • English Language Testing and Assessment
  • Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL)
  • English Literature
  • Language Policy and Planning
  • Second Language Acquisition
  • Applied Linguistics

JURNAL SMART strongly encourages authors to submit manuscripts through the online submission system. Authors must first register, select the “Author” role during registration, and log in to submit their manuscripts and monitor the review process.
