Read all instructions carefully. Failure to follow instructions will result in automatic rejection of your submission.<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

TESL-EJ publishes original articles, books, or monographs in the research and practice of English as a second, additional, or foreign language. TESL-EJ welcomes studies in ESL\/EFL pedagogy, second language acquisition, language assessment, applied socio- and psycholinguistics, and other related areas, for quarterly publication. As with any journal, the purpose of publication is to advance knowledge of the field under study. Readers, whether novice or advanced professionals, must be able to take away something new from every published article. In particular, studies which are based on observations in a single country must demonstrate a connection to extant literature and practice in other world contexts. Articles that are intended for a specialized audience, without practical implications for teachers or learners, would be better submitted to an appropriate journal dealing with that aspect of Applied Linguistics.<\/p>\n

Please note that literature reviews must critically review current knowledge and indicate areas where further research is required. Take care with papers considered to be “action research” as they are often unsuitable due to issues such as theoretical grounding, N-size, generalizability, and other factors.<\/p>\n

Suggestions for your title:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. While TESL-EJ has no limitation on title length, succinct titles that fit on one line appear more attractive and professional.<\/li>\n
  2. Avoid mentioning the country name in the title. This can imply that your research is not applicable elsewhere.<\/li>\n
  3. There is no need to mention the methodology employed such as “a mixed-methods approach” in the title. Save it for the abstract.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    TESL-EJ publishes quarterly. Submissions may take between 6 to 9 months from initial submission to publication. Since TESL-EJ is an online journal, the length of articles is not an important factor, although readability and conciseness are essential factors.<\/p>\n

    Manuscripts are submitted through our submissions site: http:\/\/teslej-sub.org<\/a>. Registration is required. Through this site, you will find all the relevant information about the submission process, and be able to track the status of your manuscript at any time.<\/p>\n

    Articles, reviews, or forum discussion should conform generally to the American Psychological Association <\/a> format and prepared in .doc\/.docx or in RTF format. Please put all figures and tables in place in the text (rather than at the end). Format as tables, not as columns using tabs. The TESL-EJ format departs from the standard APA 7 style in these significant ways:<\/p>\n
