Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to make a call for articles, reports and book reviews for Issue 54 to be published in late April 2020 of the bi-annual peer-reviewed journal Professional and Academic English.
The journal publishes articles from researchers and practitioners working in the field of academic, professional or occupational English in various contexts and disciplines. These articles range from research-based work to personal experience of experimenting with/implementing an ESP course
If you would like your contribution to be considered for publication in issue 54, please send an email to iateflespsigjournal@gmail.com by Monday (midnight, GMT), 15 April 2020 with your attachment(s).

Submission of articles
Please ensure that the heading of your email says ‘ESPSIG Journal issue 54 – Article submission for consideration’. The word limit for a research-based article is between 4000 to 5000 words. We also publish short articles (2500 – 3000 words) that report or reflect on your experience of teaching/ running an ESP course which may focus on aspects such as assessment, course design and students’ experience of the course. In order to help potential authors, format their article using an appropriate ‘style’, we have also produced a short video that instructs them how to go about this.
