Full Title: Journal of NELTA 


Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2011 

The editorial board would like to invite contributions for the 2011 issue of the 
journal. We encourage contributors to make their work relevant to classroom 
teaching as well as to serve the larger purpose of creating or promoting ELT 
discourses at local, national, and regional contexts. Contributions that deal 
with ELT theories and methods will serve the professional community only to 
the extent that they are situated in the authors' own practices and/or in the 
contemporary educational and social contexts. The objective of this volume 
is to gather the voices of teachers, scholars, and educationists who are best 
able to define and advance the conversation and practice of ELT. 

Here are some broad areas that contributors can consider for situating or 
relating their article:  

- Innovative practice: works that describe and explore how authors have 
developed or adapted any innovative methods or practices in ELT
- Innovative theory: works that discuss or interpret ELT theory critically from 
local/regional perspectives,
- Establishing a context: works that raise new issues of ELT that deserve the 
attention of the professional community, government, or society, (e.g. : 
'Reconceptualizing Teacher Education in Nepal')
- Success story: scholarly articles that narrate and reflect on successful 
implementation of ELT theory, method, or practice,
- Any other ELT subjects that you deem relevant to ELT professional 
community. 

Articles might fall under following genres or types:

- Data-based empirical studies: articles based on the field work on issues of 
ELT, language education, teacher development or training, language testing 
and other relevant issues of language teaching. Because local practices have 
been relatively little researched outside the university context, scholarship 
that represents this area will get high priority for the publication.
- Knowledge-based perspectives: articles that articulate a comprehensive and 
critical discussion of innovative ELT concepts.  Such articles must present 
the author's clear voice on the perspective that is of interest to the readers in 
Nepal.
- Action research and teacher reflections: articles coming directly out of the 
classroom teaching or teacher's own reflection of his/her teaching. These can 
be stories in the form of narrative descriptions or they can follow the typical 
format of cyclical action research reports.
- Articles on classroom practice: articles that are directly useful for teachers 
in the classroom e.g., tips for teaching particular skills/aspects of language, 
lesson plans, tasks for teaching poetry.
- Book reviews: review of recently published ELT books that are of 
professional significance to the readers. Reviews should generally provide a 
short introduction of the author and the purpose of the book, its descriptive 
summary, followed by its evaluative comments and its significance to the 
researchers and practitioners in Nepal. Reviews should not exceed 1,500 
words including references.
