"If we understand better how to teach languages, we could enhance the academic experiences of
the majority of learners in South Africa, and abroad, substantially."

This is an important role in light of the relationship between language and academic success in South Africa, says the editor, Prof. Tobie van Dyk, as quoted in a report from the Academy of Science of South Africa. This year the Journal was subjected to independent scrutiny by the Committee on Scholarly Publishing in South Africa.
