Declining or Waning

While RAEL continues to publish diverse studies, certain themes appear to be diminishing in prominence over the years. The following areas reflect a waning interest among researchers.
  1. Traditional Grammar Studies:
    There seems to be a decline in papers focused solely on traditional grammar analyses, as the journal shifts towards more applied and technology-driven linguistic research.
  2. Linguistic Theory without Application:
    Papers that primarily discuss theoretical linguistics without a clear application to language education or real-world contexts are becoming less frequent.
  3. Static Language Acquisition Models:
    Research that relies on static models of language acquisition is waning, as newer studies favor dynamic approaches that consider social and contextual variables.
