Language Learning is an international journal in Applied Linguistics and the Language Sciences. It is published by the Language Learning Research Club which was founded at the University of Michigan in 1948. Hence the University of Michigan being considered by some to be the birthplace of Applied Linguistics.
I had the privilege of serving as journal editor (1998-2002), then Board Member (2002-), and then General Editor (2004-2020). My involvements are generously acknowledged here.
The Language Learning Research Club, in partnership with Wiley publishers, publishes four issues of the journal Language Learning each year. We also publish the biennial series Currents in Language Learning, the Cognitive NeuroScience of Language Learning Series, and a Special Thematic Issue.
Further details of these publications can be found here.
According to Google Scholar Metrics, Language Learning ranks highly among journals in Language and Linguistics, in Foreign Language Learning, and in Humanities, Literature & Arts.
The Language Learning Research Club also awards a number of grant schemes including a Language Learning Dissertation Grant Program and the Language Learning Early Career Research Grant Program.
The Language Learning Research Club sponsors up to four Roundtables per calendar year. In 2016 and 2017, Language Learning sponsored roundtables at the AAAL, EuroSLA, ISB, and PSLLT conferences, and a workshop on second language processing convened as part of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Learning series.
