Guidelines
for Submissions
to Language Magazine
Audience
Our readership is comprised of those who must stay
informed on advancements in the language education
arena. This includes language teachers, administrators,
ESL and literacy educators, bilingual educators, teacher
trainers, and program coordinators. We have a very
wide readership
in the United States and around the world from kindergarten
through university levels to adult education and corporate
training. Language Magazine is also available on newsstands.
Style
The style of Language Magazine is American English.
Our tone is professional yet approachable. Although
the bulk of our readership is comprised of professional
educators, the magazine is also read by policymakers,
business people, students and interested parents,
so try not to exclude any potential readers of your
article. Most importantly, please be clear and succinct.
Please include a short bio, including your academic
title, your e-mail address (which will be published
with your article, unless otherwise requested) and
a phone number.
Quotations
and References
If you are using quotations, identify the sources.
Depending on their length, it may be necessary to
obtain permission for them to be used, so please give
full information. If you quote references, give full
bibliographic information.
Length
and Format of Articles
Articles should generally be 1500-2500 words in length.
We do accept shorter or longer articles, but we suggest
a query e-mail first if your article is shorter or
longer. All articles must be original and not have
been previously published.
It
is probably a good idea to send a query e-mail first
describing your proposed article in a paragraph to
the editor. Articles should be submitted electronically
in Word to editor@languagemagazine.com.
We
reserve the right to edit all articles for length
and style. If there are questions or substantive changes,
then we will communicate with you. We are not able
to publish every article that is submitted.
Copyright
Your article will be published on the understanding
that the copyright in the article is retained by the
author whilst granting Language Magazine full publication
rights. The Publisher will not give permission to
reproduce the article elsewhere without your permission,
provided that you reply to any request within two
weeks. Any application made to you to reproduce your
article should be forwarded to the editor. Any fee
received for the reproduction of the article will
be shared 50/50 between you and the Publisher. If
you wish to use the article again in a publication
written or edited by you, you may do so provided that
its original publication in Language Magazine is acknowledged.
Any article that is accepted for publication in Language
Magazine may also appear on Language Magazine Online.
