Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines for TEFL Journal: The Editor, supported by the Editorial Board, decides which of the articles submitted to the journal are published and in which issue. The Editor carefully evaluates all manuscripts, regardless of the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, citizenship or political views. The decision is always based on the article’s significance to the field, originality, quality and its relevance to the journal's scope. Current legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism are also taken into account.

An independent educational periodical. Submissions are encouraged from educational scholars and practitioners at all levels. All submissions are peer reviewed, and authors will be informed of decisions about publication in as timely a manner as possible. The following guidelines are offered to assist with preparation and submission of materials appropriate to the journal.

Format : All submissions should be double-spaced, including references and any other materials, and prepared as a Microsoft Word file (click here to download the template). A cover file containing the title of the manuscript, name(s) of author(s), academic title(s), institutional affiliation(s), and address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the author(s) should be submitted along with the manuscript file.

Priority will be given to submissions that offer new ideas and fresh perspectives, and those that are written in a communicative and interesting manner. Our peer reviewers judge material both on the accuracy and relevancy of content and the potential interest it has for our readers. Some submissions will be accepted immediately, others may be returned for possible revision by the author(s), and some will be rejected if the material is not deemed relevant or interesting for our audience or if we have previously published similar material.

TEFL Journal  conforms to APA style. Most manuscripts require editing after acceptance. Our editing focuses on grammatical errors and style and presentation; content and meaning will not be changed. Manuscripts requiring extensive revision will be returned to the author(s) for revision or rejected. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the information in their articles. If you find that corrections need to be made to your manuscript after it has been submitted, or if information needs to be updated, please so inform us as quickly as possible. Following revision and acceptance, we will prepare material for publication, and we will send PDF page proofs to the author for review and final corrections before publication.
