Foreign Language Annals

Foreign Language Annals

Foreign Language Annals (FLA) is the official refereed journal of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and is published four times per year. Dedicated to the advancement of language teaching and learning, the journal seeks to serve the professional interests of classroom instructors, researchers, and administrators concerned with the learning and teaching of languages at all levels of instruction. The journal welcomes submissions of the highest quality that report empirical or theoretical research on language learning or teaching, that describe innovative and successful practice and methods, and/or that are relevant to the concerns and issues of the profession. Foreign Language Annals focuses primarily on language education for languages other than English. The journal welcomes manuscripts on a wide variety of topics including cross-disciplinary submissions that provide clear implications for teaching, learning, and/or research in the language field.

Visual Resources

Visual Resources

Visual Resources: An International Journal of Documentation is devoted to the study of images and their uses. While architecture and art constitute its main focus, other subjects and contexts in a wide range of formats are also featured. VR delves into the past and looks toward the future, revealing how images influence our perceptions of art and how interpretations of images condition and enhance academic disciplines such as archaeology, history, and particularly art and architectural history.

VR explores how visual language is structured and visual meaning is communicated. VR examines early attempts to document the visual, reports on the state of historical and cultural visual resources, assesses the effect of electronic technology on current and future uses, and provides a platform for reporting innovative ways to organize and access visual information while aiming to increase the recognition and appreciation of visual documentation.

VR is published quarterly in print and as an e-journal. Recent special issues include Imaging Blackness in the Long Nineteenth Century, Visual Collections as Historical Evidence, and Visual Documentation in Freud's Vienna.
