Language & Intercultural Communication promotes an interdisciplinary
understanding of the interplay between language and intercultural
communication. It therefore welcomes research into intercultural
communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic
aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign
languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural perspectives.

The journal is alert to the implications for education, especially higher
education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to
research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the
implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.

The journal seeks to advance a perception of the intercultural dimension of
language within a complex and pluralist view of the world. To this end, it
seeks always to resist reductive and hegemonic interpretations, and is
stimulated by contemporary, critical perspectives in understanding cultural
practices and intercultural relationships.

Its aspiration to promote an understanding of the position and politics of
language(s) in intercultural communication is conceived as a contribution to
personal development and to interpersonal understanding, dialogue and
co-operation. The journal also seeks to make an effective contribution to
disseminating new ideas and examples of good practice in educating students
in language and intercultural communication.
