SJLT ISSUE 8: SHORT TEXT SPECIAL ISSUE
Submission guidelines for The Saitama Journal of Language Teaching
(SJLT)
We hope that Saitama JALT Chapter members will find SJLT of practical use in their classroom, or of theoretical interest in their research. However, SJLT has another goal: For all of us involved in this journal, be it as authors, reviewers, or editors, SJLT is an opportunity to develop professional, personal, or social skills. Writing, reviewing, giving feedback to authors, receiving constructive criticism from reviewers and dealing with it, editing, mentoring authors at early stages of their teaching or research career, networking – all these activities give us a chance to learn by doing and to develop ourselves and each other. With SJLT, we hope to create a stronger sense of community at Saitama JALT Chapter and to stimulate good communication and lively interaction between members.
Eligibility for submission
Saitama JALT Chapter members, and presenters at the Chapter can submit.
