Huele: Journal of Applied Linguistics, Literature and Culture publishes research on how language is learned, taught, and used, and on the literary and cultural texts through which meaning is made. Language education remains the journal’s core concern. The journal equally welcomes studies that examine language, literature, and culture in their own right, provided that language, literary texts, or cultural practices are the central object of inquiry. Contributions drawing on Indonesian and other multilingual contexts are particularly encouraged.

The journal covers three interrelated areas:

1. Language Education

• Language learning and teaching: methodologies, strategies, and classroom practice
• Language curriculum, materials development, and instructional design
• Language assessment and evaluation
• Language teacher education and professional development
• Technology-enhanced language learning
• Psychological and sociolinguistic dimensions of language learning
• Literature and culture in language teaching
• TESOL, TEAL, and English for Specific Purposes

2. Applied Linguistics and Language Studies

• Pragmatics and speech act analysis
• Discourse analysis and critical discourse analysis, including media, political, and institutional discourse
• Ecolinguistics
• Sociolinguistics, multilingualism, and language in society
• Corpus-based approaches to language use
• Translation studies

3. Literature and Culture

• Literary analysis and criticism of prose, poetry, and drama
• Stylistics and linguistic approaches to literary texts
• Analysis of popular culture texts such as song lyrics, film, and digital media
• Language, identity, and culture, including local wisdom and cultural heritage

The journal accepts research-based articles and theory or concept-based articles, including literature reviews and case studies, prepared according to the corresponding manuscript templates. Manuscripts are published in English; data in Indonesian, regional, or other languages are welcome when accompanied by English translations.

Out of scope: studies in which language, literature, or culture is not the central object of analysis, such as general education, psychology, management, or communication studies without a linguistic, literary, or cultural focus.

By bringing these areas together, Huele aims to foster dialogue among language educators, linguists, and literary and cultural scholars.
