Vision: Journal for Language and Foreign Language Learning was first published in April 2012, as paper-based publishing. The Editor in Chief was Daviq Rizal. However, from 2013-2016 the editor-in-chief was Muhammad Nafi Annury. In 2014, Vision Journal was published in printed and online versions. Since 2017, Vision Journal has published online versions since the editor-in-chief is Daviq Rizal.

Moreover, on 13 February 2019, Vision Journal was suggested to be included in Scopus. The tracking nr. for this title suggestion is FDD4A8359958BC03. However, on 10 October 2021, the CSAB did not accept the Scopus inclusion title for the following reasons.

1. Despite being published for quite some time, articles in this title have attracted few citations by other titles currently covered by Scopus,
2. There are a few good, informative articles, but also many articles that make little contribution to the field,
3. Many good international journals already cover this subject area, and
4. Journal title implies that it is international, but this is not supported by the stated aims and scope.

Moreover, to improve the quality of the journal, since 25 July 2020, this journal officially had made cooperation with ELITE Association Indonesia (The Association of Teachers of English Linguistics, Literature & Education). See The MoU Manuscript.
