Critical Inquiry in Language Studies: An International Journal ( CILS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that engages fields of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, literacy studies and education.
CILS focuses on research and scholarship in language matters, generated from qualitative, critical pedagogical, and emergent paradigms. In these perspectives, language is considered a socially constituted cultural construct that gives shape to, and at the same time, is shaped by, the larger social, political, and historical contexts of use. The primary purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for discussion of research from these paradigms, across disciplinary boundaries.
Readership: Researchers, scholars, graduate students and practitioners interested in critical language studies, particularly in the fields of applied linguistics, TESOL, language education, bi/multilingual education, rhetoric and composition, language policy and planning, modern languages and literatures, educational studies, anthropology, sociology, history, political science, psychology, and cultural studies. The journal may also be of interest to educational stakeholders and communities and those engaged in methodologies in language studies.
