Statement of Purpose
The annual Conference Proceedings is meant to be a permanent record of the presentations from the annual conference. As such, the published proceedings serve the purpose of providing current, research- or practice-based information for teachers, administrators, or other stakeholders in the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
General Information
All presenters from the 2013 conference are welcome to submit a submission proposal to be considered for publication in the Proceedings. Submissions may be theory or practice-based. We strongly encourage you to send in an article for consideration so that a wide audience can benefit from your research or pedagogy.
- Please follow the submission guidelines carefully.
Publication considerations
- Only authors who presented at the conference may submit a paper to the Proceedings.
- Commercial presentations will not usually be considered, but contact the editor if there is reason to believe an exception is valid.
- Presenters may submit papers for more than one presentation, including sessions that had co-presenters. However, it is usual practice that only one paper will be published per presentation.
Review Process
- All submissions will be made to the General Editor.
- The Editor will review submissions first for compliance with submission standards.
- All accepted submissions will be blind peer-reviewed by a panel of experts in your presentation’s general subject area (IEP, Higher Ed/Teacher Training, K-12, Adult/Community College, Language Theory, or general).
- Articles are accepted for publication based on the peer reviews and the final judgment of Proceedings editors.
