Iris na Teangeolaíochta Feidhmí in Éirinn
The Irish Journal of Applied Linguistics
The peer-reviewed journal TEANGA (the Irish word for 'language') was first published by IRAAL in l979. Originally devoted exclusively to papers presented at IRAAL seminars and conferences, TEANGA now includes the best of these papers, as well as project reports, book reviews and other contributions in applied linguistics. Many issues of TEANGA are focused on a particular theme, although coverage of a range of issues is also maintained. Volumes 1-19 of Teanga were edited by Dónall P. Ó Baoill (vol. 19 jointly with Mary Ruane). Volumes 20-23 were edited by Jeffrey Kallen. From 2016, TEANGA has been published as an open-access online academic journal, commencing with Volume 24. The current editors are Stephen Lucek, Colin Flynn and Úna Bhreathnach.
