"The text opened my eyes": A book club on teaching writing to ELLs

TESL-EJ began as the brainchild of a group of scholars who saw the need for a freely-distributed electronic academic journal. It has grown to become an internationally-recognized source of ESL and EFL information for people in scores of countries. Our first issue was published in the spring of 1994, and contains an overview article (http://tesl-ej.org/ej01/a.1.html) by Editorial Board member Roland Sussex. Since then, we have published a wide array of articles and reviews, linking authors and readers on an international scale. TESL-EJ is fully refereed–each article undergoes an initial review by the editor. If the editor decides that it fits within the guidelines outlined, then it is further reviewed by at least two knowledgeable scholars. For 2017, the acceptance rate was 8%.
