How to submit work to a journal

We welcome articles from new authors. Although all articles are refereed in order to ensure quality, authors are offered constructive feedback in order to support them in meeting the required standards
Contributions
The Editorial Committees welcome previously unpublished articles, reports and other contributions, which will further the cause of language teaching and learning. Contributions are expected to fall into one of these categories:

Articles of about 3000 words.
Shorter articles of up to 1000 words that might include items of information, notes on innovative classroom practice and discussion points (including those arising from previous articles).
Reviews usually of about 300 to 400 words (but longer reviews or review articles may also be accepted). Please send your contributions directly to the Reviews Editor.

An abstract of 200-250 words should accompany articles of 3000 words and an abstract of approximately 100 words should accompany those of 1000 words.

Articles should be written in English or the target language and may deal with any aspect of contemporary language, literature and culture. Previously unpublished photocopiable classroom material to accompany the contribution (a worksheet, for example) is particularly welcome.

The guidelines below are intended to help contributors:


Presentation

Contributions must be typed with double spacing and sent in on disk or as an e-mail attachment (MS Word preferred), accompanied by 3 copies on paper and an address for correspondence. These should be presented anonymously for review purposes, carrying no indication of the author’s name or place of employment. The latter details should be given in a covering letter. Remember to keep a copy of the article for yourself. Please give your article one title only, not a title and a sub-title, but do feel free to divide it up with (short) sub-headings.

If you quote references or sources, please give full details using the Harvard system, e.g.: Barber, C. (1993) The English Language: a historical introduction, Cambridge: CUP. In the text the author’s name, year of publication and page number where relevant should be quoted in brackets, e.g.: (Barber, 1993: 27).

Copyright

Authors are requested to seek copyright permission for any material they use from external sources before submitting their article and should discuss this, if it arises, with the Editors. If the article is accepted into the Journal, copyright will pass to ALL (although all other copyrighted sources will be acknowledged).

Illustrations

Photographs are particularly welcome, as are charts, diagrams and tables where relevant. Please send these at the same time as your typescript.

Submitting

Please select the journal you would like to contribute to and contact the Editor at the address provided.
