The World Journal of English Language (WJEL) is dedicated to publishing high-quality research covering all aspects related to the English language, with a primary focus on the following core areas:

• English Literature: Including literary theory, critical methods, studies of classic and contemporary works, and interdisciplinary research related to the English language.
• Translation Studies: Exploring translation theory, practice, and interpreting techniques specifically related to the English language, particularly in multilingual settings.
• Applied Linguistics: Focusing on the application of linguistic theory to the teaching and learning of English. This includes second language acquisition, language teaching methodologies, teacher training, language testing (such as TOEFL), bilingualism/multilingualism, cross-cultural communication, language policy, EAP (English for Academic Purposes), ESP (English for Specific Purposes), discourse analysis, and critical discourse analysis (CDA).
