Journal of English as a Lingua Franca

Submission
You can easily submit your manuscript online. Simply go to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jelf and you will be guided through the whole peer-reviewing and publishing process.

For the aims and scope of JELF please consult the journal website (especially 'Overview') at http://www.degruyter.com/jelf

The journal operates a single-anonymized peer review that takes approximately 3-4 months. Editorial feedback and reviewers' comments will be made available to the authors via the editors. Every effort is made to respond to the authors in a timely manner.

Manuscripts. Scholarly articles published in JELF will usually be about 8,000 words long, including references. Authors should follow the De Gruyter Mouton journal style sheet but with one change: While the standard style sheet stipulates, under 'Special attention', that authors should have their "contribution carefully checked by a native speaker", the editors of JELF simply expect authors to submit manuscripts written in an English which is intelligible to a wide international academic audience, but it need not conform to native English norms.

Abstracts and keywords. Authors are invited to provide two abstracts of their paper of about 200 words each: one in English, and one in a language they can choose entirely freely. 3-6 keywords should also be provided in both languages.
