This year’s theme is “Reviving Engagement in ELA,” with an extended submission deadline of Wednesday, December 28, 2022. This year, we ask writers to consider ways to revive both student and teacher engagement in English Language Arts. For students, what strategies and content can promote their love of learning and literacy? For teachers, what practices can schools adopt or abandon to reduce burnout, reignite passion, and attract and retain new educators? Access the call for manuscripts here!
Our journal welcomes submissions from new and experienced teachers, including pre-service, in-service, undergraduate, and graduate students. We seek research and practitioner-oriented pieces (1000-2000 words), as well as personal essays (700-1000 words) and other creative responses related to the theme and geared towards an audience of P–12 and postsecondary English Language Arts educators.
Some of our student writers have adapted ideas from university coursework for publication, and/or co-authored pieces with their professors, so we wanted to extend this invitation in time for the fall semester. Previous writers have also successfully adapted content from conference presentations for submission.
