Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Articles should be original and should not include libellous or defamatory material. All texts submitted by e-mail attachment should also have page numbers. For general Internet writing style and usage, authors are encouraged to consult Wired Style: Principles of English Usage in the Digital Age, edited by C. Hale, Constance Hale and J. Scanlon (New York: Broadway Books, 1999). For example, the World Wide Web can be referred to as 'the Web' or 'the World Wide Web' but not 'the web'. The Internet should be called 'the Internet', not 'the internet' or 'the net'. Electronic mail can be referred to as 'e-mail' or 'E-mail' but not 'email' or 'Email'. Acronyms should be explained in their first use, as in ‘English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)’, allowing the use of ‘ELF’ later in the manuscript. Not all readers will be acquainted with even the most basic acronyms. Explain each and every first occurrence of these acronyms so readers will not become lost in an alphabet sea. Some (but not all!) of the most common acronyms used in the TESOL field can be found at http://iteslj.org/acronyms.html. Please use a basic, widely available font like Times New Roman, 12 point only. Do not justify or break words at the right margin. Additional data and complicated or long tables and figures should be placed in consecutively numbered appendices at the end of the manuscript. Notes in the manuscript should be consecutively numbered, and collected at the end of the paper, after the Conclusion and before the References.
