1. Research Articles

Research Articles report original research findings based on empirical, qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, experimental, classroom-based, or other appropriate research approaches.

Review Articles provide critical and comprehensive analyses of existing scholarly literature on topics relevant to Arabic language education and linguistics. These manuscripts may include systematic literature reviews, scoping reviews, integrative reviews, or other clearly defined review approaches.

Review articles should explain their literature identification and selection methods, synthesize relevant findings, identify research gaps, and offer meaningful directions for future research.

3. Conceptual and Theoretical Articles

Conceptual and Theoretical Articles develop, examine, or critique theories, concepts, models, and frameworks relevant to Arabic language teaching, Arabic linguistics, and related disciplines.

These manuscripts should demonstrate a clear conceptual contribution, engage critically with relevant literature, and provide a coherent argument that advances scholarly understanding of the subject.

4. Linguistic and Language Studies Articles

Linguistic and Language Studies Articles investigate the structure, use, development, and characteristics of the Arabic language and its relationship with other languages. Topics may include Arabic phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, applied linguistics, translation, and language variation.

Manuscripts should employ appropriate analytical methods and provide clear evidence supporting their arguments and findings.

Manuscripts should explain the rationale, development process, implementation context, and, where applicable, the evaluation of the proposed innovation and its educational implications.

6. Book Reviews

Book Reviews provide critical evaluations of recently published academic books relevant to Arabic language teaching, Arabic linguistics, applied linguistics, and related areas.
