Archipelagic Studies in Language, Literature, and Education

Archipelagic Studies in Language, Literature, and Education (ASLLE) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to the advancement of research and critical inquiry in language, linguistics, literature, literacy, and language and literary education. The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for scholars, researchers, educators, and practitioners to examine the dynamic relationships among language, literary expression, culture, society, and education within local, national, transnational, and global contexts.

The term “Archipelagic Studies” reflects the journal’s intellectual orientation toward diversity, interconnectedness, mobility, and plurality. It positions archipelagic societies—particularly Indonesia and other multilingual, multicultural, and geographically diverse regions—as important sites for generating knowledge about language practices, literary traditions, literacy, cultural identities, and educational processes. At the same time, ASLLE is not geographically restricted to archipelagic regions. The journal welcomes comparative, cross-cultural, and international studies that contribute to broader theoretical and methodological discussions in language, literature, and education.

ASLLE encourages studies that connect local knowledge with global scholarly debates. Particular attention is given to research on multilingualism, language variation and change, discourse, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, applied linguistics, literary and cultural studies, oral and written traditions, comparative literature, digital literature, literacy studies, language policy, language maintenance and revitalization, as well as innovative approaches to language and literature education.

In the field of education, ASLLE publishes research addressing language and literature pedagogy, curriculum development, instructional design, assessment, literacy education, teacher education, educational technology, digital learning, artificial intelligence in language education, multimodal learning, and other emerging issues relevant to contemporary educational environments.

The journal particularly welcomes research that explores the interaction between locality and globality, including studies of indigenous and regional languages, local literary traditions, cultural narratives, linguistic landscapes, language contact, migration, identity, postcoloniality, decolonial perspectives, environmental humanities, digital humanities, and the transformation of language, literature, and education in contemporary society.

ASLLE accommodates a wide range of scholarly approaches, including qualitative, quantitative, mixed-method, textual, ethnographic, corpus-based, computational, historical, comparative, interdisciplinary, and critical methodologies. The journal also encourages theoretically grounded studies that offer original perspectives, methodological innovation, and significant contributions to the development of language, literary, and educational scholarship.

Through the publication of rigorous and original research, Archipelagic Studies in Language, Literature, and Education (ASLLE) seeks to become an international forum for scholarly exchange connecting perspectives from Indonesia, Southeast Asia, the Global South, and other parts of the world. The journal aims to strengthen dialogue between local intellectual traditions and international scholarship while contributing to the development of inclusive, culturally responsive, and globally relevant studies of language, literature, literacy, and education.
