History

IJLCLE was born out of the Working Papers in Literacy, Culture, and Language Education (WPLCLE) published in five volumes from 2012 to 2017. This is the reason why the Editorial Team decided to include those five volumes in the archives of IJLCLE as background information and evidence of its conception.
