Contributions on any aspect of English language teacher education and development in the form of articles, reports, work-in-progress and letters or comments on previously published articles are welcome. As far as possible they should conform to the guidelines which follow. Contributors are asked to provide sufficient context/background for an international readership and to highlight the wider, not just local relevance of their article. The length of articles should be in the range 2000-5000 words. ELTED does not impose any copyright on articles published, which may appear elsewhere in revised form.
- Length of articles should be between 2000 and 5000 words.
- We prefer you to email your article to us as an attachment. But don’t let lack of access to a computer or the internet prevent you from sending in an article to our postal address below.
- Type in one and a half spacing, preferably in Times New Roman 12 point. As far as possible, follow the formatting of articles in the most recent issue of the journal (except for use of columns).
- Provide a short abstract of the article in about 100 words.
- References in the text should be made as follows: (Brown 1995: 3) i.e. (Name date: page number)
- Footnotes should be avoided. If something is important, put it in the main body of the text. Otherwise, don’t say it! Try to keep illustrations and diagrams to a minimum.
- Use the following style for you references at the end of the article:
Ho, B. 1995. 'Using Lesson Plans as Means of Reflection'. ELT Journal 49/1: 66-71
Posner, G. 1985. Field Experience. New York: Longman. - Write a few lines about yourself for inclusion in the details of contributors.
- The use of 'she/her' or 'he/his' is acceptable when you are referring to a particular individual. Otherwise you should use plural nouns (e.g. teachers/students) with plural pronouns (e.g. they). Where this is not possible, use the alternative forms s/he; her/his.
