Background information
The International Society for Language Studies (ISLS) is an international organization with members representing every continent of the world.
ISLS was created in 2002 by scholars, with the goal of having a forum encouraging and disseminating post-positivistic research in broad languages matters. Prior to the founding of ISLS, such research was presented in venues primarily designed for applied linguistics, educational studies, language-specific concerns, literary criticism, anthropology, sociology, history, or similar disciplines.
ISLS publication
"Critical Inquiry in Language Studies: An International Journal" is the quarterly official journal of the society. Language studies overlaps fields of applied linguistics, language policy, language planning, modern languages and literatures, education, anthropology, sociology, history, political science, psychology and cultural studies.
