Volume 19 Issue 2 – October 2025

Welcome to the latest issue of Novitas-ROYAL. Since 2007, Novitas-ROYAL has been recognized by over twenty indexing agencies, including SCOPUS and TUBITAK-ULAKBIM (TR Dizin), for its contributions to the fields of language, literature, and linguistics. We are proud to have published studies from researchers in more than forty countries and have reached at least twice as many readers. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the invaluable support of our readers, reviewers, and authors—thank you.
As the nineteenth volume draws to a close, this issue brings together a diverse range of articles originating from different international contexts, engaging with pressing questions and addressing critical themes and concerns in language teaching and education. The substantive findings, perspectives, insights, and implications presented by these studies advance scholarly discourse and make valuable contributions to ongoing scholarly conversations on youth and language, opening new pathways for future research. We invite you to explore these thought-provoking works. We hope you enjoy reading these diverse and thought-provoking works featured in this issue and find them both enriching and inspiring.
