About the Journal

Jurnal Bahasa dan Pendidikan Berkelanjutan (JBPB), with its English title Journal of Language and Sustainable Education, is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research at the intersection of language, communication, literacy, and sustainable educational transformation. The journal provides an international scholarly platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to examine how language and literacy practices contribute to knowledge construction, meaningful communication, inclusive education, and sustainable human development.

JBPB places particular emphasis on productive language skills, especially writing and speaking, as fundamental means of expressing ideas, constructing knowledge, developing critical perspectives, and participating in academic and social life. The journal welcomes research that moves beyond the measurement of language proficiency to investigate how learners use language to communicate evidence, formulate arguments, negotiate meaning, solve real-world problems, and engage with contemporary social, cultural, technological, and environmental challenges.

The journal publishes original empirical, theoretical, methodological, and interdisciplinary research in language and education. Areas of interest include academic and professional writing, speaking and oral communication, language learning and teaching, language assessment, academic literacy, critical literacy, digital literacy, multiliteracies, multilingualism, intercultural communication, discourse studies, and innovative language pedagogy.

JBPB particularly encourages research examining the transformation of language education through digital technologies, artificial intelligence, multimodal communication, emerging pedagogies, and new forms of literacy. Research investigating how these developments influence language learning, productive language performance, academic communication, and educational practice is especially welcomed.

A distinctive focus of JBPB is the relationship between language education and sustainable development. The journal welcomes studies addressing Education for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly when sustainability issues are connected to language competencies, literacy practices, communication, inclusion, cultural sustainability, local knowledge, global citizenship, and social participation.

JBPB also values research situated in diverse linguistic and cultural contexts, including multilingual, indigenous, local, and community-based settings. However, studies are expected to demonstrate theoretical, methodological, or conceptual significance that extends beyond a single local context and contributes to broader international discussions in language and education.

The journal welcomes qualitative, quantitative, mixed-methods, experimental, developmental, design-based, corpus-based, discourse-analytic, comparative, and interdisciplinary approaches. Manuscripts should demonstrate methodological rigor, appropriate theoretical grounding, ethical research practice, and a clearly articulated contribution to existing scholarship.

Through rigorous peer review and international scholarly exchange, JBPB seeks to advance understanding of how language, literacy, and communication can become transformative resources for inclusive, innovative, and sustainable education. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars across countries and disciplines that generate meaningful insights for both theory and educational practice.
