Beyond Babel, published by the Department of Languages and Literary Studies, Babcock University, Ilisan-Remo, Nigeria, is a refereed, peer-reviewed journal which seeks to reflect developments in the general fields of English and French Studies: Language and Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Literatures and Cultures of the English-and-French-speaking countries. The journal therefore provides a forum in which scholars working within any subfield of English and French studies can address a cross-section of the field. As a Bilingual/interdisciplinary journal, Beyond Babel represents the best emerging research and scholarship from teacher-scholars working within all institutional types, and appeals to a broad, informed readership within English and French studies.
