Critical Inquiry in Language Studies: An International Journal ( CILS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that engages fields of applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, language policy and planning, literacy studies and education. CILS focuses on research and scholarship in language matters, generated from qualitative, critical pedagogical, and emergent paradigms. In these perspectives, language is considered a socially constituted cultural construct that gives shape to, and at the same time, is shaped by, the larger social, political, and historical contexts of use. The primary purpose of the journal is to provide a forum for discussion of research from these paradigms, across disciplinary boundaries.
