Clarep Journal of English and Linguistics (C-Jel): Vol. 6

The sixth volume of the CLAREP Journal of English and Linguistics (C-JEL 6) features twelve high-quality papers in Applied Linguistics and Literary Studies. These papers were selected following presentations at the 2024 CLAREP conference, themed: Doing Research in African Linguistics: Existing Challenges and the Way Forward. The conference drew contributions from both African and non-African scholars engaged in African linguistics research, each exploring specific aspects of African linguistics and highlighting existing challenges in empirical research and offering insightful recommendations. The Centre for Language Research and English Proficiency (CLAREP) is an educational non-governmental, non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing language research in Africa and promoting the proficient use of language in all its spheres. Its mission is to foster excellence in language studies and research, benefiting scholars, educators, and language enthusiasts.
