ABOUT

The purpose of STiLE is to provide a space where practitioners can both showcase and share their scholarly work in language education, in order to collaborate in a way that connects knowledge and practice. STiLE is designed to reflect the nature of language education as one that combines expertise in language and pedagogy, which includes both theoretically – grounded understanding and rich experience in the art of teaching. Underpinning language education as a field is adherence to educational values that result in a strong commitment to students in the classroom as the ultimate priority. It is this priority which distinguishes scholarship from research.

Recognising that knowledge is distributed and dispersed, STiLE provides a place for practitioners to connect their knowledge – both with each other and with other knowledge. STiLE is a place both to contribute to existing scholarship and to make sense of existing scholarship, including research, as it applies to teaching and learning. The potential value of scholarship for language education and applied linguistics was explained by Professor Diane Pecorari, in the Symposium celebrating the launch of STiLE on 31 May 2023. Researchers of language will find the authentic context of scholarship work useful for framing their inquiry.
