• First and second language teaching and learning: This domain investigates effective methods, pedagogical approaches, and innovations in teaching both first and second languages, with a specific emphasis on English. Submissions are invited to cover classroom strategies and language acquisition theories, offering potential advancements in the understanding of language pedagogy and valuable insights for educators and researchers.

• Learner’s motivation and perception: Exploring the psychological and motivational aspects of language learning, this area seeks to comprehend what drives learners and how they perceive the language learning process. Manuscripts are encouraged to delve into motivation theories, learner attitudes, and the impact of motivation on language learning outcomes. Studies should illuminate the motivational factors influencing language learners and explore how these factors can be leveraged for more effective teaching.

• Information technology: Within the context of language education, this area scrutinizes the integration of information technology tools and resources to enhance language teaching and learning. Manuscripts may discuss the utilization of language learning apps, online platforms, virtual classrooms, and other technological innovations in language education. Studies are expected to assess the effectiveness of technology, explore new tools, and provide insights into best practices for incorporating technology into language teaching.

• Other areas related to English language: Encompassing a diverse array of fields, this category includes linguistics, discourse analysis, language assessment, material development, corpus study, stylistics, language and culture, multilingual education, English as an international language, literary criticism, media studies, and translation. Manuscripts may focus on specific linguistic phenomena, cultural aspects, literary analysis, language assessment methods, and the role of English in various global contexts.

In all these areas, The New English Teacher seeks high-quality research employing interdisciplinary approaches, empirical studies, and literature reviews that contribute to the broader understanding of language education. Clear and well-defined methodologies, practical implications for educators, and the potential for broader impact in the field are aspects that can enhance the appeal of submissions to the journal. The journal is dedicated to the application of linguistics in education and values contributions that address the shared professional concerns of both practitioners and researchers.

Types of Published Articles

The New English Teacher, dedicated to fostering knowledge and innovation in the field of English Language education, welcomes a diverse range of contributions, classified into three distinct categories:

• Research articles aim to disseminate the findings of original research endeavors, with the primary objective of introducing novel insights or knowledge to a specific field. These articles typically comprise sections such as a title, abstract, introduction, methodology, results and discussion, and references. The introduction establishes the study's context, the methodology outlines the research approach, and the results and discussion sections scrutinize and interpret the findings. Furthermore, research articles should be comprehensive, with manuscripts typically ranging from 4,000 to 5,000 words.
• Academic articles encompass a broader spectrum of contributions, spanning original research results, reviews of existing research, or discussions on theoretical frameworks. The overarching goal is to present a scholarly examination of a particular topic. While the structure of academic articles may vary, they often include sections such as an introduction, literature review, methodology (if applicable), findings or analysis, conclusions, and references. Additionally, academic articles are succinct, with a recommended length of 2,000 words or less, facilitating a focused exploration of the chosen subject.
• Book review articles undertake critical assessments of recent publications, typically within a specific field of study related to English language education. The objective is to evaluate the book's content, its contribution to the field, and its relevance to the intended audience. These articles generally encompass an introduction, a summary of the book's content, an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, and a conclusion providing an overall evaluation. Citations and references should be included to bolster the reviewer's points. Moreover, book review articles are concise, usually not exceeding 1,500 words, allowing for a focused and insightful critique.

In summary, research articles contribute fresh knowledge through original studies, academic articles offer a comprehensive exploration of topics, and book review articles provide critical evaluations of recent publications. Each category plays a distinctive role in the academic discourse, collectively advancing knowledge across various fields, specifically in those areas pertinent to NET's scope.
