The NYS TESOL Journal

Aim and Scope

The NYS TESOL Journal is the official journal of the New York State
Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (NYS TESOL). It is
a refereed academic journal published online only, biannually each
spring and fall. Articles in the NYS TESOL Journal focus on theory,
research, pedagogy, and educational policy related to the teaching of
English to speakers of other languages, including U.S.-born emergent
bilinguals, "generation 1.5" students, (im)migrants, and international
students. Articles may focus on any educational level, from
pre-kindergarten to university, as well as on adult school and
workplace literacy settings.

Call for Papers: Submissions due April 15, 2013

Guidelines for Submission

Submission is open to all; you do not need to be a member of NYS TESOL
to submit a manuscript. The editorial board seeks submissions in the
following four categories:

1. Feature articles (20-25 pages inclusive of references, tables, and
figures): These articles focus on theory, research, pedagogy, and/or
educational policy. Feature articles should show evidence of rigorous
scholarship, make an original contribution to the field of education,
contain ample references, and provide readers with insights relevant
to TESOL learning and teaching. Feature articles should be driven by
pedagogical problems and research questions that address those
problems. We welcome all methodological research paradigms; in all
cases we ask authors to keep the literature review and methods
sections succinct and emphasize the findings and the applications of
those findings to pedagogical issues. Articles that contain
statistical analysis must be accessible to a general audience of
educators.

2. Brief reports (10-15 pages inclusive of references, tables, and
figures): These articles are briefer and less formal than feature
articles. Based on current or emergent trends in the field of TESOL,
exchanges present (a) well-argued viewpoints regarding theory,
research, pedagogy, and/or educational policy, (b) effective
instructional techniques and classroom practices, (c) pilot studies,
or (d) other discussions that are of interest to our readership.

3. Reviews of books and other published materials (2-4 pages): Please
contact the Book Review Editor to get your title approved before
beginning writing to ensure another writer is not already reviewing
the same text and that the publication date is recent
enough. When choosing books, software, or audio materials to review,
consider what contribution they make to the field.

4. Proposals for themed issues. Those interested may submit a proposal
to serve as guest editor of a themed issue. The proposal should
include: (a) a cover letter explaining the rationale for the special
topic issue; (b) a tentative list of topics to include in the themed
issue; and (c) an outline for soliciting submissions.

Submission Format
• All submissions should be double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman
font, with 1 inch margins on all sides
• The title page should include each author's name, affiliation,
address, telephone numbers, e-mail address
• The remaining pages should be numbered consecutively, with a
150-word abstract, followed by a list of 5-10 keywords, numbered as
page 1
• The page number and title should be placed in the upper right-hand
corner of each page. The style and bibliographic references should
conform to the conventions specified in the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association, 6th edition.
• The review process is anonymous so authors should not be identified
anywhere within the body of the article
Submissions should be sent as an email attachment to NYSTJ at nystesol.org:
• In the email subject line, please type “NYS TESOL Journal
submission” and indicate if the submission is a feature article, brief
report, book review, or themed issue proposal.

It is understood that manuscripts have not been previously published
and are not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Review of manuscripts will take place within 12 weeks of submission.
Accepted manuscripts typically undergo several rounds of substantive
revision before they are ready for publication.

When a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication, authors
will be required to submit a complete electronic copy of the final
version, including all figures, charts, tables, appendices, and
illustrations. Authors are required to assign copyright to The NYS
TESOL Journal before articles may be published. The NYS TESOL Journal
reserves the right to make non-substantive editorial changes for
style, clarity, and consistency.
