English Language Services
English Language Services provides guidance for authors of ELT ECHO: The Journal of English Language Teaching in Foreign Language Contexts to ensure that manuscripts are written in clear, accurate, and academically appropriate English.
Language Quality
Authors should carefully check grammar, spelling, punctuation, vocabulary, sentence structure, coherence, and overall readability before submission.
Authors may use professional English language editing or proofreading services when necessary to improve the linguistic quality, clarity, and readability of their manuscripts.
Language editing does not replace the author's responsibility for the accuracy, originality, academic content, research arguments, data interpretation, and conclusions of the manuscript.
Language Editing Recommendation
Authors, particularly non-native English speakers, are encouraged to have their manuscripts reviewed by a qualified English language editor or a proficient English speaker before submission.
Improving the language quality of a manuscript helps ensure clear academic communication and supports an efficient peer-review and publication process.
