Aims & Scope

Archipelagic Studies in Language, Literature, and Education (ASLLE) is an international scholarly journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research in language, literature, literacy, culture, and education, with particular attention to archipelagic, maritime, multilingual, and culturally diverse societies.

The journal aims to provide an academic forum for researchers, educators, practitioners, and scholars to examine the relationships among language, literary expression, cultural identity, education, technological transformation, and social change. ASLLE encourages studies that connect local and regional knowledge with broader national and international scholarly conversations.

ASLLE welcomes original research articles, conceptual and theoretical studies, systematic or critical reviews, and other scholarly works that contribute to the development of knowledge in the following areas:

  • language education and language learning;
  • Indonesian language and literature education;
  • linguistics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and multilingualism;
  • literary studies, comparative literature, and cultural studies;
  • literacy, multiliteracies, digital literacy, and academic literacy;
  • language, literature, and education in archipelagic and maritime contexts;
  • local languages, oral traditions, folklore, and cultural heritage;
  • language, literature, identity, and intercultural communication;
  • curriculum, pedagogy, assessment, and innovation in language and literature education;
  • educational technology, digital humanities, and technology-enhanced language learning;
  • teacher education and professional development in language and literature education;
  • inclusive, multicultural, and culturally responsive education;
  • language policy, language planning, and educational policy;
  • interdisciplinary studies connecting language, literature, culture, education, society, and technology.

The journal particularly encourages research that brings local and archipelagic perspectives into dialogue with contemporary international scholarship. Manuscripts should demonstrate a clear scholarly contribution, appropriate methodological or theoretical grounding, and relevance to the journal's disciplinary and interdisciplinary scope.

ASLLE does not prioritize manuscripts that are purely descriptive, unrelated to language, literature, literacy, culture, or education, or that do not demonstrate a clear contribution to scholarly knowledge.
