About The Journal 

The International Journal of Multilingualism and Languages for Specific Purposes IJMLSP Journal is a double-blind peer-reviewed, biannual, free-of-charge, and open-access journal edited by the University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed. The journal publishes original articles, reports, case studies, and book reviews, its main objective is to provide an intellectual platform for international scholarly communication among researchers, academics, and practitioners for contributions that examine the multiple intersections between LSP and multilingualism.  The IJMLSP Journal is distinguished by its interdisciplinary approach to addressing various issues relevant to multilingualism, language policy, language(s) and culture(s) teaching. With an emphasis on thematic depth rather than geographical diversity, the journal covers global issues related to language use in academic, professional, and specialised contexts. It publishes research that explores how multilingual interlocutors and communities align with the demands of specialised communication across various fields such as Business, Medicine, Law, Science and Technology. Topics of interest include the cognitive and social dimensions of multilingualism in professional settings, the elaboration, integration, and adaptation of LSP curricula, discourse analysis in multilingual environments, and the role of translation and interpretation in specialised communication. By prioritising themes that have universal relevance, the journal features the global importance of multilingual practices in professional domains while providing insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by multilingualism in increasingly interconnected and specialised industries. Through this focus on thematic research, the journal aims to contribute to the international dialogue encompassing language, communication, and digital literacy across diverse sectors.  The journal was published in the print version; the online version is free access and downloadable. The journal began its publication as an annual journal in 2019, offering local and African researchers a platform for scholarly work and insights in its respective fields. During its first four years, from 2019 to 2022, the journal adhered to an annual release cycle, providing readers with carefully selected contributions that reflected the latest advancements and trends in the subject matter. However, starting in 2023, the journal transitioned to a biannual publication schedule. This shift was motivated by the evolving needs of the academic and scientific community. The journal welcomes original papers, reports, and reviews in English in all areas of multilingualism and LSP, as specified in the focus and scope.
