The Namibian Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Communication Studies, previously known as NAWA Journal of Language and Communication (eISSN 2026-9048), is published bi-annually in June and December by the Department of Communication, Faculty of Commerce, Human Sciences and Education at the Namibia University of Science and Technology. It is a peer-reviewed (double-blind) journal whose goal is to advance knowledge in human language, communication, and literature. The journal publishes academic articles dealing with empirical research findings, pedagogical methodologies, critical analyses and theoretical perspectives in language, literature and communication and related disciplines such as linguistics and information and communication technologies. NJLLCS encourages research without boundaries and expands the frontiers of knowledge and skill in languages, literature and communication and related areas.

This is an open access journal which means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or his/her institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI (Budapest Open Access Initiative) definition of open access. The journal flipped from paid access to Open Access in 2023 starting with issue 16.1. Prior issues still require paid access, as their copyright belongs to EBSCOhost. Find them in the EBSCO database "Communication Source".
