SCENARIO, founded in 2007, is a fully peer-reviewed journal for Performative Teaching, Learning, Research.
To reach the widest possible readership, SCENARIO publishes articles primarily in English as an international lingua franca. However, thanks to the expertise of co-editors and guest editors who represent these languages, authors are also given the opportunity to submit their contributions in German (since 2007), Italian (since 2023) and French (since 2025).
Scenario primarily focuses on foreign/second languages and their associated languages and cultures, but is open to perspectives on performative teaching, learning and research from other disciplines and fields of pedagogical practice.
The journal is the main pillar of the Scenario Project which encompasses a book series and a forum for conferences, symposia and colloquia; for further details on events and initiatives that aim to promote international exchange and collaboration visit the Scenario Project homepage at: https://www.ucc.ie/en/scenario/
