Subject: TESL Canada Journal - "Call for Proposals: 2028 Special Issue"


The TESL Canada Journal (http://www.teslcanadajournal.ca) is
soliciting proposals from prospective guest editors for the 2028
Special Issue. The TESL Canada Journal is an open access, refereed
journal for practicing teachers, teacher educators, graduate students,
and researchers. As the federally funded flagship journal of the TESL
Canada Foundation since 1984, its mandate is to publish articles that
contribute to the advancement of the teaching and learning of English
and French as second languages in Canada; second language teacher
education; and the maintenance and development of minority, heritage,
or Aboriginal languages. All published articles receive DOIs and are
archived by the PKP Preservation Network.
The TESL Canada Journal (TCJ) publishes one (or two) Special Issues
(in the late autumn) and two regular issues per year. Special Issue
topics are selected by the Journal Advisory Committee.
Guest editors are responsible for the review process and the selection
of content. Special Issues are published online only, on the TESL
Canada Journal’s open access website. Previous Special Issue topics
