About the Journal
VISTARA: Journal of Applied Linguistics and Literature is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing research and scholarly discussion in the fields of applied linguistics and literary studies. The journal provides an academic forum for examining how language functions in real-world contexts, how languages are taught and learned, and how literary texts are analyzed and interpreted within educational, social, and cultural frameworks.
The journal aims to bridge theoretical perspectives and empirical inquiry by publishing studies grounded in established linguistic and literary theories and supported by systematic and rigorous methodologies. The journal emphasizes contributions that offer conceptual innovation, methodological soundness, and clear implications for language education, discourse studies, and literary scholarship.
The journal welcomes contributions from national and international authors and promotes interdisciplinary approaches that enrich understanding of language and literature. All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure academic quality, originality, and adherence to ethical publishing standards.
