Aims and scope

The International Journal of Listening (IJL) serves as an outlet for the publication of scholarly research in listening. IJL focuses on aspects of listening in a variety of contexts, including professional, interpersonal, public/political, media or mass communication, educational, intercultural, and international listening (including second language acquisition contexts and bilingual / multilingual listening). The Journal publishes studies of listening utilizing a variety of methodologies, such as empirical, pedagogical, philosophical, and historical methods, and, in addition, research on new technologies in listening research.

The Journal publishes original research from a wide variety of disciplines: media studies, mass communication, interpersonal communication, communication theory, intercultural communication, business communication, rhetorical studies, American, and cultural studies, education (assessment, teaching, and learning listening), studies in interpreting, and linguistic theory exploring the role of listening within the realm of language. Please note that the scope of the journal does not include those disciplines that are more medical-physiological in orientation, such as speech and language pathology, strict cognitive psychology, and hearing/auditory neurology.
