Apples: Journal of Applied Language Studies is a peer-reviewed, open access
scientific journal in the field of applied language studies. The full volume
of 2012 is now online.

The first issue includes four articles that deal with language education and
language teaching in different contexts. Jörgen Tholin problematizes equality
of language education within the so called SvEn education, where goal setting
is lacking and activities unregulated and varied. The other articles discuss
the importance of role models in international higher education, a European
survey on teaching English pronunciation, and the role of grammar knowledge in
the Common European Framework of Reference. In addition, the issue includes a
book review of a volume on multilingualism, edited by Cecilia Varcasia.

The second issue of 2012 includes eight articles that are based on papers
given at the international conference New Dynamics of Language Learning:
Spaces and Places – Intentions and Opportunities. The articles discuss
language learning from several angles: learner identities and beliefs,
language learning in different settings, and various ways of learning and
teaching languages. The issue includes several articles on university
students’ language learning and teaching and their beliefs about language
learning. Additionally, methods of planning teaching and motivating students
are covered. The articles also discuss reviving lapsed language skills and
learning languages in informal contexts. As research data, the studies
reported in the articles have used narratives, questionnaires, teaching
experiment and ethnography.

Apples publishes articles that share an applied, interdisciplinary orientation
to issues of language in society. Its key areas of interest include language
learning, language teaching, language assessment and language education
policy. The working language of the journal is English but papers and other
contributions can also be published in other languages.

Apples is published by the Centre for Applied Language Studies, University of
Jyväskylä, Finland.

Apples is an open access web-based journal, with all its articles accessible
online.
