About the Journal

 

The journal “Belarusian Language as a Foreign Language” was established in 2017 by the Belarusian Glottodidactics Laboratory of the Department of Belarusian Studies at the University of Warsaw. It seeks to popularize the learning and teaching of the Belarusian language, literature, history and culture in Poland and around the world. It is the only journal of its kind in the world to support glottodidactic research in this field in the face of the difficult situation of the Belarusian people within Belarus. The journal is published by the University of Warsaw Publishing House, primarily in Belarusian (with English abstracts), but it also publishes texts in English and Polish. Its articles discuss issues of Belarusian-language education, pedagogy, the specific sociolinguistic situation of the Belarusian language and the phenomenon of interest in Belarusian outside of Belarus. The journal’s board includes scholars from various academic centers in Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Great Britain and the USA. All articles undergo a double review process (reviewers are appointed from different centers in different countries). The journal is made available on an Open Access basis under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 PL license (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 PL).
