The journal of Technology Assisted Language Education (TALE) aims to advance the understanding and practice of language acquisition through the integration of technology. We welcome high-quality research articles that explore innovative approaches and developments in the field of technology-enhanced language learning and teaching.

Scope:

1. Focus on Language Acquisition: Manuscripts should emphasize language acquisition and provide a robust theoretical foundation. Articles that do not prioritize language acquisition will not be considered.

2. Research Methodology: Submissions must follow rigorous research methodologies supported by solid theoretical frameworks. We encourage experimental and observational studies over systematic literature reviews, surveys, or pilot studies.

3. Innovative Approaches: We seek manuscripts that explore cutting-edge technologies and their applications in language education, including but not limited to:

   • Game-based Language Learning
   • Artificial Intelligence in Language Education
   • Machine Translation and Language Pedagogy
   • Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in Language Learning
   • Gamification in Language Education
   • Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL)
   • Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL)

4. Broader Applicability: Research should demonstrate implications for language acquisition that extend beyond the specific context of the study, showcasing the potential for broader applicability and generalizability.

5. Justification for Technology Use: The abstract should clearly justify the use of technology and present a solid argument supporting the research question.

6. Contribution to the Field: Articles should extend previous research by including up-to-date citations to relevant publications, particularly those from TALE.

By adhering to these guidelines, TALE aims to publish research that significantly contributes to the field of technology-assisted language education and supports the development of innovative teaching and learning practices.

The journal of Technology Assisted Language Education (TALE) aims to publish articles that improve our understanding of language acquisition through technology. Manuscripts that do not emphasize language acquisition or place it inferior will not be considered. The aim of the TALE journal is to share research with educators of foreign and second languages regarding the intersection of technology and language education. While TALE acknowledges the importance of digital technology, its primary concern is the impact or improvement of language learning and teaching.

To be considered for publication in TALE journal, submitted articles must satisfy specific criteria as follows:

• Focus on language learning and acquisition and provide a robust theoretical foundation.
• Follow a rigorous research methodology supported by a solid theoretical foundation.
• Extend previous research in the field by including a sufficient number of up-to-date citations to relevant publications, especially those from TALE.
• Examine experimental and observational methods instead of relying solely on systematic literature reviews, surveys, or pilot studies.
• The abstract should contain a clear justification for using technology and a solid argument supporting the research question.
• Have implications for language acquisition that extend beyond the context in which the study was conducted, demonstrating the potential for broader applicability and generalizability.
