About the journal

TESOL Quarterly, a professional, refereed journal, was first published in 1967. The Quarterly encourages submission of previously unpublished articles on topics of significance to individuals concerned with English language teaching and learning and standard English as a second dialect. As a publication that represents a variety of cross-disciplinary interests, both theoretical and practical, the Quarterly invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, especially in the following areas:
psychology and sociology of language learning and teaching
issues in research and research methodology
testing and evaluation
professional preparation
curriculum design and development
instructional methods, materials, and techniques
language planning
professional standards
Because the Quarterly is committed to publishing manuscripts that contribute to bridging theory and practice in our profession, it particularly welcomes submissions that address the implications and applications of research in, for example,
anthropology
applied and theoretical linguistics
communication education
English education, including reading and writing theory
psycholinguistics
psychology
first and second language acquisition
sociolinguistics
sociology
The Quarterly prefers that all submissions be written in a style that is accessible to a broad readership, including those individuals who may not be familiar with the subject matter. TESOL Quarterly is an international journal. It welcomes submissions from English language contexts around the world.

SUBMISSION CATEGORIES
TESOL Quarterly invites submissions in five categories:
Full-Length Articles Full length articles typically present empirical research and analyze original data that the author has obtained using sound research methods. TQ publishes both quantitative and qualitative studies. Occasionally, this section features reflective articles (i.e., think pieces) that provide a comprehensive review of current knowledge in a specific area and present significant new directions for research.
Contributors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts of no more than 20?5 double-spaced pages or 8,500 words (including references, notes, and tables). Submit three copies plus three copies of an informative abstract of not more than 200 words. If possible, indicate the number of words at the end of the article. To facilitate the blind review process, authors?names should appear only on a cover sheet, not on the title page; do not use running heads. Submit manuscripts to the TESOL Quarterly editor:
A. Suresh Canagarajah Editor, TESOL Quarterly Box B6-247 Baruch College of the City University of New York One Bernard Baruch Way New York, NY 10010 USA Phone: +1 646-312-4338 E-mail (inquiries only): tesol_quarterly@baruch.cuny.edu
When evaluating a manuscript for publication in TESOL Quarterly, reviewers consider the following factors:
The manuscript appeals to the general interests of TESOL Quarterly抯 readership.
The manuscript strengthens the relationship between theory and practice: Practical articles must be anchored in theory, and theoretical articles and reports of research must contain a discussion of implications or applications for practice.
The content of the manuscript is accessible to the broad readership of the Quarterly, not only to specialists in the area addressed.
The manuscript offers a new, original insight or interpretation and not just a restatement of others?ideas and views.
The manuscript makes a significant (practical, useful, plausible) contribution to the field.
The manuscript is likely to arouse readers?interest.
The manuscript reflects sound scholarship and research design with appropriate, correctly interpreted references to other authors and works.
The manuscript is well written and organized and conforms to the specifications of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.).
Reviews TESOL Quarterly invites succinct, evaluative reviews of professional books. Reviews should provide a descriptive and evaluative summary and a brief discussion of the significance of the work in the context of current theory and practice. Reviewers are encouraged to query the Reviews editor concerning their book of interest before writing the review. Submissions should comprise no more than 1,000 words. Send one copy to the Reviews editor:

Review Articles TESOL Quarterly also welcomes occasional review articles, that is, comparative discussions of several publications that fall into a topical category (e.g., pronunciation, literacy training, teaching methodology). Review articles should provide a description and evaluative comparison of the materials and discuss the relative significance of the works in the context of current theory and practice. Reviewers are encouraged to query the Reviews editor concerning their books of interest before writing the review. Submissions should comprise no more than 2,500 words. Submit two copies of the review article to the Reviews editor at the address given above.
Brief Reports and Summaries TESOL Quarterly also invites short reports on any aspect of TESOL theory and practice. The editors encourage manuscripts that either present preliminary findings or focus on some aspect of a larger study. In all cases, the discussion of issues should be supported by empirical evidence, collected through qualitative or quantitative investigations. Reports or summaries should present key concepts and results in a manner accessible to our diverse readership. Submissions to this section should be 7?0 double-spaced pages, or 3,400 words (including references, notes, and tables). If possible, indicate the number of words at the end of the report. Longer articles do not appear in this section and should be submitted to the TESOL Quarterly editor for review. Send one copy of the manuscript each to:
John Flowerdew Department of English and Communication City University of Hong Kong 83 Tat Chee Avenue, Kowloon Tong Hong Kong China
John Levis TESL/Applied Linguistics Department of English Iowa State University Ames, IA 50011-1201
Forum TESOL Quarterly publishes four types of articles in the Forum:
Commentary from readers regarding current trends and practices in the TESOL profession
Responses to articles and reviews published in TESOL Quarterly
Brief discussions of qualitative and quantitative research issues
Brief discussions of teaching issues
Commentaries submitted to the Forum should generally be no longer than 7?0 double-spaced pages or 3,400 words. If possible, indicate the number of words at the end of the contribution. Submit three copies to the TESOL Quarterly editor at the address given for full-length articles.
Response articles should be no more than 1,500 words. The article will be given to the author of the original article or review before publication for a reply that will be published with the response article. Unfortunately, TESOL Quarterly is unable to publish reponses to previous exchanges.
Contributions to Research Issues and the Teaching Issues are typically solicited, but readers may send topic suggestions or make known their availability as contributors by writing directly to the editors of these subsections.
