Research in Foreign Language Teaching (RFLT) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of English language teaching and learning. Published by the Department of English and Linguistics at the University of Kurdistan, Iran, RFLT serves as a platform for disseminating rigorous research and innovative practices in the field. The journal welcomes a broad spectrum of research methodologies, including qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods approaches. Our goal is to publish high-quality empirical studies, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews that contribute significantly to the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of language education.

RFLT focuses on, but is not limited to, the following areas: 

• Language skills and components: Reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation 
• Assessment and evaluation: Language proficiency measurement
• Psychology of language education: Learner motivation, attitudes, and beliefs
• CALL/MALL/RALL: Computer-Assisted/Mobile-Assisted/Remote-Assisted Language Learning
• Psycholinguistics: Cognitive processes in language learning and use
• Sociolinguistics: Language in social context
• Discourse and pragmatics: Language use in interaction
• EAP/ESP: English for Academic Purposes/English for Specific Purposes

By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and promoting methodological innovation, RFLT aims to enhance the quality of language education worldwide. We invite contributions from scholars, practitioners, and researchers to share their expertise and insights with a global audience.
