Aims & Scope
Starting as a Southern Conference on Language Teaching (SCOLT) conference proceeding publication with the organization’s inception in 1967 under the title “the SCOLT Dimension,” this journal has long been the organization’s official double blinded, peer-reviewed journal. Recognizing the multiplicity of dimensions concerning the teaching and learning languages represented by authors in the journal, the SCOLT Board voted to change the journal’s name to SCOLT Dimensions in 2023. Dimensions remains dedicated to the advancement of the teaching and learning of world languages and cultures, specifically languages other than English.
Dimensions publishes national and international authors once a year, sharing their research findings and pedagogical implications with conference attendees and beyond. The journal is indexed with the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) database sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education that connects 12 million users—researchers, educators, policy makers, and students from 238 countries. ERIC metrics reports have revealed over 6,000 views and downloads of Dimension(s) publications per year in recent times, demonstrating high author visibility to a large readership.
