Mission statement

"Your article should, in all likelihood, through your research or writing, directly advocate or imply some kind of advocacy for creating conscientious global citizens through language education who believe in democracy, fairness, pluralism, independent thinking, freedom of speech and are against any form of authoritarianism, hegemony and discrimination, so that the world may gradually become better than today with less tyranny and suppression and more honesty, integrity and compassion. This is the central idea and vision of the handbook. Note that authors writing about endangered, indigenous or minority languages are inherently in tune with this approach."
