The Literacy Trek (ISSN 2602-3768) is an open-access, non-profit, and double-blind peer-reviewed international academic journal and publishes articles in the fields of various forms of literacies, applied linguistics and educational linguistics as well as research that links these fields. Yet, the journal particularly focuses on language, education, and the intersected studies. In line with this, the Literacy Trek aims at publishing original research articles and reviews.
