TESOL in Context

About the Journal

TESOL in Context is the peer-reviewed publication of the Australian Council for TESOL Associations (ACTA) for teachers, researchers and others interested in TESOL within Australia and internationally. Normally two issues are produced each year (from 2025 onwards, we aim to expand to three issues per year in the regular publication schedules, including two general issues and one special issue). TESOL in Context is a Scopus-indexed, diamond open access*, internationally refereed journal with a wide target audience, both national and international. Readership includes TESOL / EAL professionals working in all sectors of education; universities, primary and secondary schooling, early childhood settings, adult migrant programs, vocational training, ELICOS and TESOL teacher education, both in Australia and internationally. Articles published in TESOL in Context typically examine the nexus between theory and practice.

The aims of TESOL in Context are to provide professionals in the field with insights into TESOL issues in Australia and internationally
and contribute to the development of classroom expertise through dissemination of current research and thinking around TESOL.
