ALL offers many ways to help you get published for the first time. Our newly launched ‘Learning from the Classroom’, in particular, is a platform to connect and share research and practice by teachers. ALL President Anna Lise Gordon says “Learning from the Classroom is an exciting way to celebrate the amazing work taking place across the country to enhance learning opportunities for children and young people in schools. Learning from the Classroom allows teachers to stand back from their busy lives, share learning and reflect on potential impact in a different context.”
ALL invites submissions from trainee and experienced language teachers and student researchers who are willing to share their learning with others. Accepted submissions will be freely available to ALL members via the website. To find out more and to read the latest submissions click here.
Prior to acceptance, submissions are peer reviewed by a panel including members of the ITT academic community, researchers and experienced teachers. Submissions must meet the following criteria:
- Informative contribution which will be of interest to the language teaching community
- Well-structured argument with clear links between theory / literature and classroom practice
- Evidence of high level reflection about emerging issues
- Excellent standard of written English with accurate referencing
