Foreign language learning

The Editors at Communications Psychology invite submissions on the topic of foreign language learning.

This curated Collection of research articles seeks to bring together high-quality publications that address applied and basic research questions in the domain of foreign language learning. The Collection is open to submissions from cognitive, educational, and developmental psychology.

This may include research exploring potential consequences (or lack thereof) of foreign language learning, including bilingualism and multilingualism, on cognition and development. Of equal interest are studies that study not the effects of foreign language learning, but what predicts and facilitates learning and proficiency. The journal will prioritize strong confirmatory submissions for peer review. The scope of the Collection is explicitly not limited to research studying English as a foreign language, although that research is of course welcome. Similarly, studies of signed language learning are welcome, as is research into verbal language learning.

Authors interested in submitting narrative reviews or opinion content should contact the journal to discuss suitability.
