About the Journal

The journal was established in 2017 by the Belarusian Glottodidactics Laboratory of the Department of Belarusian Studies at the University of Warsaw. Its mission is to promote the teaching and learning of the Belarusian language, literature, history, and culture in Poland and around the world. It is the only journal of its kind devoted to research on Belarusian language teaching and learning (Belarusian glottodidactics). In view of the challenges currently facing the Belarusian language and Belarusian-language education, the journal serves as an important forum for scholarly exchange in this field. 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).

Aims and Scope

The journal is an annual publication devoted to interdisciplinary Belarusian studies, issues of Belarusian language teaching and learning (Belarusian glottodidactics), the history and contemporary developments of Belarusian literature and culture outside Belarus, as well as comparative glottodidactics. Individual volumes contain research articles, book reviews, review essays, and reports. Contributions are authored by scholars affiliated with various academic institutions in Poland and abroad. The journal publishes articles in Polish, Belarusian, and English. The journal follows an open-access publishing model. Manuscripts are accepted through an open submission process, and all articles undergo peer review and are indexed in relevant databases.
