Journal of English as a Lingua Franca

17/08/2011 Achilleas Kostoulas Leave a comment

Here’s some info on a new journal I litterally stumbled upon. The topic of the journal is (obviously) English as a Lingua Franca, and it’s edited by Jennifer Jenkins, Barbara Seidlhoffer and Anna Mauranen. There doesn’t seem to be a page anywhere with information for authors, but I thought it might be interesting nonetheless

Some of the slides are not entirely intuitive, but there is explanatory text embedded in the powerpoint. Comments […]

This post traces the meandering path of an article I am working on, from its original inception to a stage very close to submission. I don’t know how typical this pathway is, but I thought that it might be worth a read in that it present’s an insiders’ perspective of how an article might come into existence. I think it […]
