Language & Intercultural Communication promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of the interplay between language and intercultural communication. It therefore welcomes research into intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural perspectives. The journal is alert to the implications for education, especially higher education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.

The journal seeks to advance a perception of the intercultural dimension of language within a complex and pluralist view of the world. To this end, it seeks always to resist reductive and hegemonic interpretations, and is stimulated by contemporary, critical perspectives in understanding cultural practices and intercultural relationships. Its aspiration to promote an understanding of the position and politics of language(s) in intercultural communication is conceived as a contribution to personal development and to interpersonal understanding, dialogue and co-operation. The journal also seeks to make an effective contribution to disseminating new ideas and examples of good practice in educating students in language and intercultural communication.
