Africa Journal of Language Studies

About the Journal

The Africa Journal of Language Studies is an independent double-blind peer-reviewed journal that is a brainchild of the Institute of Language Studies at Kabale University. The Journal was established to promote research and knowledge in the disciplines of Linguistics, African Literature, Kiswahili Language, and other African languages.

Considering the proliferation of universities and other institutions of higher learning in the East African region and the relatively few learned scholarly journals in existence, this Journal will avail opportunities to young and aspiring academicians as well as the more experienced ones to publish their research findings and other material of academic importance.

The materials published in this journal address the following areas: African Languages and Cultures, English Language Studies, Foreign Languages, Literature, Linguistics, Language Education, Journalism, Communication Studies, Performing Arts, language and culture-related studies within disciplines such as Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, History, Religious Studies, Economics, Development Studies, Tourism, among others.

The working language is English but articles on any topic written in Kiswahili, French, Runyakitara, Luganda and Luo will be accepted. Furthermore, authors of papers on other African as well as Foreign Languages will be encouraged to write in those languages as much as possible.

The AJLS has a highly experienced Editorial Board and quality assurance mechanisms that ensure that the articles published in this journal fit internationally acceptable academic standards.
