About the journal
|
 |
English For Specific Purposes publishes articles and research notes- reporting basic research in the linguistic description of specialized varieties of English and the application of such research to specific methodological concerns. Topics such as the following may be treated from the perspective of English for specific purposes: discourse analysis, second language acquisition in specialized contexts, needs assessment, curriculum development and evaluation, materials preparation, teaching and testing techniques, the effectiveness of various approaches to language learning and language teaching, and the training or retraining of teachers for the teaching of ESP. In addition, the journal welcomes articles and discussions that identify the aspects of ESP needing development, the areas into which the practice of ESP may be expanded, the possible means of cooperation between ESP programs and the learners' professional or vocational interests, and the implications that findings from related disciplines can have for the profession of ESP. The journal also carries reviews of textbook materials and scholarly books on topics of general interest to the profession. |
Instructions to Authors
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Submission of a paper requires the assurance that the manuscript is an original work which has not been published previously and is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Article submissions should be no longer than 25 double-spaced pages. Articles must be written in English and should be related to the teaching of English. Manuscript pages should be consecutively numbered in the upper right hand corner. All artwork must be suitable for publication and need no further work. Submit three copies of the manuscript, including all artwork, to one of the editors: Diane Belcher, Georgia State University, Department of Applied Linguistics/ESL, 12th Floor, 34 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30302, USA. Martin Hewings, Department of English, School of Humanities, The University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT, United Kingdom. On a separate sheet, please supply the senior author's telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address (if available), along with a brief biographical sketch (see below).
Receipt of manuscripts will be acknowledged, but they cannot be returned; therefore, authors should retain a copy of the paper exactly as it was submitted. Since page proofs cannot be sent to authors for last minute corrections, authors must proofread manuscripts carefully, giving special attention to the accuracy of quotations and references. Authors will receive 25 offprints of their own contributions. Writers of reviews will receive 10 offprints. If extra prints are desired, authors must request them with the offprint order form that the editorial office sends before publication of the journal.
All authors must sign the 'Transfer of Copyright' agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Science Ltd to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, but does not relinquish the author's proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microform or any other reproductions of similar nature and translations, and includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems. Authors are responsible for obtaining from the copyright holder permission to reproduce any figures for which copyright exists.
STYLE: Articles must be written in English and should be related to the teaching of English, Grammatical, lexical, and orthographic features may conform to either British or American norms. Citations may be given of lexical material from languages other than English; however, citations from languages not employing a Roman alphabet must be given in a Romanized transliteration or in a transcription which uses standard symbols available in the International Phonetic Alphabet.
REFERENCES AND FOOTNOTES: In the text, references are cited using author's last name publication date (Wilkins 1976). If quotations are cited, these should additionally have page numbers (Wilkins 1976: 21-22). The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order following the style sheet of the American Psychological Association and should appear on a separate page at the end of the article. The reference list should include only those items specifically cited in the body of the text. Generally speaking, comments and references should be incorporated into the text; but when necessary, footnotes should be typed at the bottom of the page on which the reference appears and should be set off from text with a horizontal line.
ABSTRACTS: All articles should have abstracts which summarize the scope and purpose of the article and, if applicable, the results of the study. The abstracts should be between 100 and 200 words in length.
KEYWORDS: Authors should provide up to six keywords, to appear just underneath the abstract. These keywords will be used to help provide efficient indexing, search and retrieval mechanisms as articles become available through electronic systems. As far as possible, keywords should conform to those used in LLBA (Linguistics and Language Behaviour Abstracts).
TABLES AND FIGURES: Certain numerical tables can be typeset. Other types of material (figures, graphs, illustrations, tables involving nonhorizontal matter or special symbols) cannot and must be submitted as camera-ready. Prepare each table, figure, graph or illustration on its own page and number all such material clearly. Make sure that the text refers to the figures and tables in consecutive order. Artwork that is not suitable for publication will be returned to the author with a request for better art.
GUIDELINES FOR MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION: 1. Articles should be typed with double- spacing throughout and, in general, be no longer than 25 pages, including bibliographical references. Research Notes and Discussions should be no longer than 10 such pages. 2. Type on standard white bond paper (8?x 11 in.) or the closest possible equivalent. Type on only one side of the paper. 3. On a separate page, type the name, mailing address, e-mail address, home and work telephone and fax numbers of the senior author, and a brief biographical sketch of each author. Do not put the name(s) of the author(s) on any other pages. Skip two lines and type the title of the paper. Skip four lines and type the word "Abstract." Skip four lines from the end of the abstract and begin typing the text of the article. 4. On the author information sheet, provide a brief biographical sketch of the authors (maximum of 50 words per author). Include the professional affiliation, highlights of professional experience, and important publications.
