LINGUISTIC AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY
ERL Journal studies and rests on the omnipresence of LANGUAGE in EDUCATION.
Accordingly,
LANGUAGE-wise, its policy is to promote and popularise studies of how language determines LEARNING and TEACHING at ALL LEVELS of EDUCATION, how it affects what we believe, how we act, what we feel and think, with these issues being studied in different EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS, across different CULTURES, by means of different METHODOLOGIES, taking into account different PERSONALITIES;
and
EDUCATION-wise, its policy is to promote and popularise studies of how education shapes our LANGUAGE, defines the character and boundaries of our COMMUNICATION, how it operates on the level of four LANGUAGE SKILLS, and how it proceeds through TEXTS.
