The Electronic Journal for English as a Second Language Volume 14, Number 3

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 a review by at least two knowledgeable scholars. Our goal is to shorten the time from submission to publication significantly from what has become the norm in print journals. We aim for a decision in 6 weeks (although �human factors� occasionally cause delays).
