Research centered on conventional language teaching methods is becoming less frequent, with a noticeable shift towards innovative and technology-enhanced pedagogies that emphasize learner engagement and autonomy. - Historical Linguistics:
Studies that focus on historical linguistics and diachronic analysis have diminished, possibly as the journal prioritizes contemporary issues and applications of linguistics in current sociocultural contexts. - Descriptive Studies without Practical Implications:
