Full-length Research Articles (5000-10000 words including abstract and reference)

We welcome articles that draw on experience with new methods, techniques, materials, syllabuses, means of assessment, approaches to TESOL studies. We are interested in receiving articles that describe carefully planned and executed experiments. A carefully designed complete project is reported with quantitative and/or qualitative original data. Articles should also provide implications for language teaching and learning in international contexts. Submissions in this category should generally follow the overall structure of IMRD, namely introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussions, and conclusion.

Key Constructs in Language Teaching (3000-5000 words including abstract and reference)
Key Constructs in Language Teaching is a distinctive feature of the Journal designed to offer readers clear and concise explanations of pivotal ideas within TESOL and Applied Linguistics. This feature aims to support readers in cultivating a deeper understanding and appreciation of essential theories and practices in language teaching, informed by contemporary discussions and debates.

Brief Report (3000-5000 words including abstract and reference)
Brief Report is a unique feature of the journal, specifically designed to provide readers with concise yet insightful discussions of recent findings of pressing issues within the fields of TESOL and Applied Linguistics. These reports aim to address current “hot topics” that are of significant interest to both researchers and practitioners, offering timely contributions that advance knowledge and practice in these disciplines. Unlike full-length research articles, the Brief Report format allows for a more focused exploration of a specific aspect of a study. This streamlined approach ensures that the content is accessible and engaging while maintaining academic rigor. Authors are encouraged to present their findings in a clear and concise manner, with an emphasis on their relevance and implications for the TESOL and Applied Linguistics communities.
