ELTech: Journal of English Learning and Technology
1. About the Journal
ELTech: Journal of English Learning and Technology focuses on scholarly work that examines the relationship between English language education and technology across diverse learning contexts and educational levels. The journal is particularly interested in manuscripts that go beyond surface-level descriptions of technological tools and engage critically with the pedagogical, linguistic, and contextual dimensions of technology integration in English teaching and learning.
ELTech publishes studies that offer evidence-based insights, theoretical contributions, or practical innovations relevant to English language educators, curriculum designers, researchers, and policymakers. The journal especially welcomes work that addresses underrepresented contexts, including non-Western and multilingual settings where English occupies a second or foreign language position.
