About the journal
English Teaching: Practice and Critique is a peer-reviewed journal aimed at encouraging critical reflective practice and classroom-based research. It seeks to promote theorising about English/literacy that is grounded in a range of contexts: classrooms, schools and wider educational constituencies. It provides a place where authors from a range of backgrounds can identify matters of common concern and thereby foster professional communities and networks. Where possible, it encourages comparative approaches to topics and issues. To this end, each issue deals with a distinct topic or issue. The "Topical Articles" section of the journal is peer-reviewed, and there is also a peer review process for "Classroom Narratives", a section which provides a forum for the stories and concerns of classroom teachers to be aired and shared. In addition, the journal invites "Articles in Dialogue", which may not be on the topic of the issue but can be seen as entering into dialogue with articles in preceding issues. The journal also invites "Review Articles", where reviewers nominated by the Review Editor engage with recently published texts which are deemed to be pertinent to the journal's readership.
The editorial board of English Teaching: Practice and Critique enjoys an active, collaborative relationship with the journal L1: Educational Studies in Language and Literature. Both journals publish in English, and both promote inquiry into language and literacy education, including the role of L-1 education within multilingual settings. Although ETPC tends to focus on the English-speaking world, it is also interested in exploring issues related to language and culture in other settings. A key focus for ETPC is the role English is currently playing in globalization, and the journal welcomes contributions which explore the interface between English and local languages and cultures.
English Teaching: Practice and Critique is indexed and abstracted by Thomson Reuters in the following: Social Sciences Citation Index, the Arts and Humanities Citation Index, Social Scisearch and Journal Citation Reports/Social Sciences Edition. Indexing is from May, 2007 (Volume 6, Number 1). [NB: Journal is indexed as English Teaching-Practice and Critique because of database issues with the colon.]
Instructions to Authors
Articles and articles in dialogue
In many cases, potential contributors with acknowledged expertise will be approached by the Board or by a guest editor appointed by the board and invited to contribute to an issue of the journal commensurate with their expertise.
However, once a theme has been identified, you are welcome to submit a proposal for the respective issue. Please submit a one-page abstract along with the name of a person who would be suitable to act as a referee.
We suggest you send your submission to the member of the Editorial Board based in your own country. Otherwise, send your submission to the Coordinating Editor. Once your submission has been received it will be reviewed by the Editorial board. If your proposal is accepted, you will then be asked to submit the full article by a due date that will allow for peer reviewing. More specific guidelines will be sent to you at this point.
Our aim in adopting these guidelines is to achieve a degree of manageability in the review process and to ensure a speedy turnaround for all of our contributors.
Review articles
English Teaching: Practice and Critique does not provide a review process on demand. Rather, its Board selects recently published works deemed to be of high interest and relevance to the English/literacy teaching profession worldwide. (Words selected need not relate to the chosen focus of a particular issue.) The work will be allocated by the ETPC Review Editor to an established academic whose job it will be to enter into dialogue with the writer(s) of the chosen work, thereby drawing the work into the kind of academic and professional conversation that the journal is committed to. Publishers, who have familiarised themselves with the journal's "Statement of Purposes" on its home page, are invited to submit books for review purposes.
Classroom narratives
The editors invite teachers to submit theorised classroom-based accounts or narratives that they believe will resonate with colleagues in other countries. In line with the journal's editorial policy, such submissions will also be subject to peer review. Having said that, our aim in including such narratives is to ensure that practising teachers have a voice in this publication and thereby develop a sense of ownership of the journal.
In developing a classroom narrative, teachers (and, of course, teacher/researchers) are invited to consider the following suggestions:
- Recognise that you are writing for an international audience. While avoiding tedious detail, put readers in the picture who may be unfamiliar with the schooling system in your state, province or country.
- Build your narrative around a problem, dilemma or issue. A possible structure for a classroom narrative is to begin with a close-up or vignette, moving to a consideration of an issue or issues (analysing a problem) and proceeding to a recount of a practice or practices you have introduced. Your conclusion might discuss some implications of your "story", for you personally and for all of us as a research community.
- Remember you are telling a story and it is your story. Keep it concrete.
