Types of Manuscripts
Journal of English Language Teaching and Education (JELTE) welcomes a variety of scholarly manuscript types that are relevant to the journal’s scope. Manuscripts should present clear academic contributions and follow the journal’s ethical and publication standards. The word count refers to the main body of the manuscript and excludes the title page, abstract, keywords, tables, figures and captions, reference list, and appendices.
Research Articles
Maximum 7,000 words; peer-reviewed
Research articles report original research findings that contribute to the development of knowledge in English language teaching, education, linguistics, literature, language assessment, or related fields within the scope of JELTE. These manuscripts may employ quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods research approaches.
Quantitative research may include studies involving surveys, experiments, assessments, statistical analyses, or secondary data. Qualitative research may include case studies, interviews, focus groups, classroom observations, document analysis, and other appropriate qualitative approaches. Mixed-methods studies may combine quantitative and qualitative procedures to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the research problem.
Research articles generally include the following major sections: Abstract, Introduction, Literature Review, Method, Results/Findings, Discussion, Conclusion, and References, although the structure may be adjusted according to the nature of the study.
Authors are expected to clearly describe the research objectives, methodology, data collection procedures, analysis, findings, and implications. All sources cited in the manuscript must be appropriately acknowledged, and citations and references must be complete and consistently follow APA 7th edition style.
Review Articles
Maximum 7,000 words; peer-reviewed
Review articles provide a comprehensive and critical synthesis of existing scholarly literature on a specific topic related to English language teaching and education. Rather than presenting new empirical data, review articles examine, compare, and integrate findings from relevant previous studies to provide a clear understanding of the current state of knowledge in a particular area.
A review article should go beyond simply summarizing previous studies. It should identify major themes, patterns, developments, similarities and differences among studies, research gaps, and potential directions for future research. The review should be based on relevant and credible academic sources and demonstrate a clear and systematic approach to the selection and analysis of the literature.
Review articles generally include an Abstract, Introduction, Review Method or Approach, Literature Synthesis/Discussion, Research Gaps or Implications, Conclusion, and References, depending on the nature and purpose of the review.
All citations and references must be complete, accurate, and consistently formatted according to APA 7th edition style.
