Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy (JAAL)

The Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy (JAAL) is a long‑established, peer‑reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing literacy education for older learners—typically adolescents (ages 12 and up) and adults. First published in 1957 under the title Journal of Developmental Reading, it evolved through name changes before acquiring its current title in 1995. The journal is published bimonthly by Wiley‑Blackwell on behalf of the International Literacy Association (ILA) and is recognized internationally as a premier forum for disseminating research, instructional strategies, and practice‑based insights that link theory to classroom and community literacy work. JAAL’s content includes empirical research, conceptual analyses, and classroom‑tested practices aimed at improving literacy learning across diverse contexts. Its scope emphasizes innovative teaching strategies, culturally responsive pedagogy, critical literacies, digital literacies, and research that informs policy and practice in adolescent and adult education. As such, it serves scholars, educators, teacher educators, and policymakers interested in the spectrum of literacy development, assessment, and instruction. Over decades JAAL has maintained a commitment to rigorous scholarship that is accessible and relevant to both researchers and practitioners engaged in literacy learning and teaching.
