About the journal

Language Teaching Research supports and develops investigation and research within the area of second or foreign language teaching. Research of both a quantitative and qualitative (including ethnographic) orientation is of interest to the journal, which as a matter of policy publishes work related to the teaching of any second language, not just English.

A wide range of topics in the area of language teaching is covered, including:

  • Programme
  • Syllabus
  • Materials design
  • Methodology
  • The teaching of specific skills and language for specific purposes

Thorough investigation and research ensures this journal is:

  • International in focus, publishing work from countries worldwide
  • Interdisciplinary, encouraging work which seeks to break down barriers that have isolated language teaching professionals from others concerned with pedagogy
  • Innovative, seeking to stimulate new avenues of enquiry, including 'action' research


Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission Guidelines:

Language Teaching Research will publish articles related to research in the fields of second and foreign language teaching. The research may be of qualitative or quantitative orientation. Articles dealing with the teaching of languages other than English will be welcome, as will those displaying an interdisciplinary perspective. All relevant articles submitted for publication will be reviewed by members of the Editorial Board or other referees.

Brief accounts of research may be accepted for publication as Research Notes. While reviews will normally be commissioned by the editors, offers to review recent publications will also be welcome.

Contributions and correspondence on editorial matters should be addressed to:

Submission

Your paper should be submitted preferably by e-mail attachment (to the e-mail address given above) or on disk to Helen Basturkmen. Articles should normally be between 4000 and 8000 words in total, including all appendices, tables and references. Please state the number of words at the end of the article. (If your article is accepted then hard copies and good quality figures will be required.)

If you are submitting a disk, please include an email address as this speeds up the process considerably.

An abstract, not more than 200 words in length, should accompany each article contribution.

All books for review and reviews should be sent to the Book Review Editor:

E mail: John.Norris@nau.edu

Reviews published represent only the opinion of the reviewer and not that of the publisher or Book Review Editor.

The disk/ or e-mail attachment

When preparing your paper:

     Use double spacing for all text - especially the references.

    The minimum of formatting should be employed.

     Roman, bold and italic type can be used, but use only one typeface and size.

     Capitals should be used only where they are to appear in the finished text.

      The text should be ranged left and unjustified, with hyphenation cancelled.

       Indents, underlining and tabs should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

        Headings and paragraphs should be separated by two carriage returns.

        There should be only one space between words and only one space after any punctuation.

         Leave generous margins at head, foot and left and right-hand margins.

Microsoft Word is the preferred word processor, but files can be accepted from any of the common Macintosh, Windows or MS-DOS word processing programs. RTF or ASCII files can also be accepted. No artwork should be included in the text files. Any artwork provided on disk should be in either TIFF, or EPS format. Each piece of artwork should be saved as a separate file.

An abstract, not more that 200 words in length, should accompany each article contribution.

Style

From 2008 onwards, the journal will be using APA style. Please also note the following conventions:

        Use 'z' not 's' where there is an alternative, and in general follow the first variant given by the Shorter Oxford Dictionary, e.g. realize, idealize, analyse, advertise.

       Numbers: adopt the rule that all numbers under 10 should be spelt out in letters except where attached to a unit of quantity (e.g. 1 mm or 3 kg) or where the context makes this awkward (e.g. use spelt-out forms at the beginning of a sentence).

         Avoid excessive capitalization. For titles of books and articles, capitals should be used for the initial letter of the first word only. For the titles of journals and series, the initial letter of all principal words should be capitalized.

         Use italics for emphasis very sparingly.

         Abbreviations: initial letter of abbreviations should be typed with no full point (e.g. UK, UNESCO, BBC). Abbreviations in which the last letter of the abbreviation is the same as the last letter of the word should also have no full point (e.g. Mr, St, - but no., str., etc.).

Headings

In dividing articles under headings, please weight your headings by writing in the

margin of the page:

(subheading) I, II, III etc.

(subsubheading) 1, 2, 3 etc.

(subsubsubheading) a, b, c etc.

Please avoid using more than three weights of subheading.

Tables: tables should be typed (double line-spaced) on separate sheets and their position indicated by a marginal note in the text. All tables should have short descriptive captions with footnotes and their source(s) typed below the tables.

Illustrations: all line diagrams and photographs are termed 'Figures and should be referred to as such in the manuscript. They should be numbered consecutively and presented in a form suitable for immediate reproduction (i.e. not requiring redrawing), each on a separate A4 sheet. They should be reproducible to a final printed text area of 185 mm x 113 mm. Illustrations on disk should be supplied as TIF or JPEG files scanned in at high resolution (300 dpi) to a size of 185 mm x 113 mm. Images should be provided separately, i.e. not embedded in a WORD document. Photographs should preferably be submitted as clear, glossy, unmounted black and white prints with a good range of contrast. Slides are also acceptable, black and white if possible. All figures should have short descriptive captions typed on a separate sheet. Further details are available on the journal website [http://ltr.sagepub.com' or from Journal Production, SAGE.

All illustrations should be separate from the manuscript with a list of captions, but their place in the text should be marked in the margin.

Footnotes should be avoided.

References should follow the APA system. In the typescript references should be indicated by giving the author's name and the year of publication (with page references where necessary).

For example:

... According to Bowen (1975, p. 152) the student will rarely force into clusters what he can distribute in sequence.

... and contexts of plausible denial had an effect on interpretation time (Greene, 1972; McRae, 1977).

References with six authors or more should be listed in full in the text, then referred to as 'et al.'. A maximum of six authors should be listed in the references, with et al. used for seventh author onwards.

References should be listed in full at the end of the article, in alphabetical order and in the following form:

a) Journal article

Canale, M., and Swain, M. (1980). Theoretical bases of communicative approaches to second language teaching and testing. Applied Linguistics 1(1): 1-47.

(i.e. no quote marks round the title of the article and minimum capitalization)

b) Book

Rost, M. (1990) Listening in language learning. London: Longman.

c) Article in a book

Dechert, H. W. (1983). How a story is done in a second language. In C. Faerch and G. Kasper (Eds.), Strategies in interlanguage communication (pp. 175-195). London: Longman.

Notes

i) Please indicate in brackets at the end of references the number of pages in mimeographed articles and publications.

ii) If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc. should be added to the year of publication (1972a, 1972b, etc.).

iii) The use of the phrase et al. (= et alia) to indicate multiple authorship is permissible in the text, but not in the list of references, where all names (unless there are more than six) should be given.

iv) No journal titles should be abbreviated. If in exceptional circumstances any abbreviations are used then they should be listed at the beginning of the references.

Copyright

Authors must obtain permission to reproduce copyright material.

Consideration for publication will be given to material which has previously had limited circulation elsewhere (e.g., seminar papers). Submission of an article implies, however, that it has not been published, and is not being considered for publication elsewhere, either in the submitted form or in a modified version. Acceptance of submitted material is on the understanding that it will not be reproduced in full or in part without the permission of the publishers.

Proofs

Proofs will be supplied only once in the form of page proofs. Please remember that:

(i) Proof corrections are disproportionately expensive. For example, the insertion of three commas on a page will frequently cost as much, or more than, the original setting cost of the entire page.

(ii) If you return proofs even a few days after the date stipulated, it may be too late to include your corrections in the final version of the journal.

Offprints

All authors will receive a complimentary copy of the journal and electronic offprints of their article.
