Instructions to authors..../ Instructions aux auteurs....
Any researcher in the field of language teaching is free to
submit papers to the Journal. for Language
Teaching. Papers of high standard from outside South Africa
which prove to be of general importance to the teaching of
languages, may be submitted to the Journal.
Selection of papers
A strict policy of selection is adhered to. All papers submitted
for publication in the Journal for Language Teaching are
sent to at least two peer reviewers for blind peer reviewing.
Reports on these reviews are compiled by the editor and then sent
to the author(s). If one or both of the reviews are negative, the
author(s) may resubmit a revised copy. The revised copy is then
again sent to one or two reviewers, depending on the first
reports.
A list of relevant questions (attached) is always sent to the
reviewers. Reviewers may also make additional comments and may
comment on the paper itself.
Members of the Editorial Board and peer reviewers
All the members of the Editorial Board are chosen because of
their research work and the quality and quantity of their
publications, locally and abroad.
The Journal also has a list of additional peer
reviewers that is constantly extended – all of them
specialists in their respective fields of language teaching.
Language policy
The Editorial Board has no language restriction or fixed quota
for papers in the Journal. Nearly all papers are in
English and some in Afrikaans. If a paper is written in Afrikaans
(or in any other South African language except for English), it
must be supported by a substantial abstract in English, with an
English heading and with English keywords.
