EDITORIAL WELCOME FOR VOLUME 6 ISSUE 1 (APRIL 2012)

Welcome to the new issue of Novitas-ROYAL (Research on Youth and Language) that has completed five years of publication.

Since 2007, Novitas-ROYAL has published studies submitted by researchers across nineteen different countries and welcomed readers from at least twice as many countries in number. Targeting to add momentum to scientific events, the journal sponsors annual Newcastle Postgraduate Conference in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics.
