TEANGA (the Irish word for 'language') is a bilingual academic research-oriented journal which publishes peer-reviewed articles, as well as project reports, book reviews and other contributions in applied linguistics. Research articles are sometimes based on presentations from the annual conference, but submissions are not limited to these. While issues of TEANGA are often focused on a particular theme, coverage of a range of local and international issues is also maintained. We encourage submissions with a solid theoretical foundation and rigorous methodology, but also innovation and creativity in researching new areas of applied linguistics and related fields.
