welcome the authors across the globe to publish their research papers,
empirical reports and reviews on the following emergent and challenging issues
in the area of Applied Linguistics in <b>Pakistan Journal of Language Studies

annual peer reviewed journal. All the submitted papers are acknowledged quickly
and reviewed as rapidly as possible. They are initially scrutinized by the
editors who decide whether they meet certain basic standards with respect to their
length, presentation, clarity and level of scholarship. The papers that pass
through this initial scrutiny are sent out to the referees for the final
selection. We follow a double-blind peer-review system, every paper is sent for
review to the national as well as international experts. The reviewers' and
