The Bilingual Research Journal (BRJ) is published three times each year and covers a wide range of topics relating to bilingual education, bilingualism in society, and language policy in education. The journal contains three sections: research and essays, the traditional formats of scholarly discourse; research in practice, which documents the experience of teachers and other practitioners; and book reviews.

Submissions are encouraged from scholars and practitioners in a wide range of areas: language assessment, policy analysis, instructional research, language politics, all forms of bilingual education, bilingualism and biliteracy, language planning, critical theory as applied to language issues, action research, sociolinguistics, second language teaching and learning, etc.

As the official organ of the National Association for Bilingual Education, BRJ editorial policy reflects the intrinsic and inherent value of bilingualism, biliteracy, and linguistic democracy. We embrace the Helsinki agreements of 1975 in which 35 modern democracies, including the United States, agreed to respect the rights of language communities to maintain and use their languages of origin. We oppose “English-only” laws and other forms of linguistic restrictionism. BRJ accepts manuscripts written in English or Spanish. Articles written in Spanish need not be translated, although a two-page abstract in English is requested.
