RADICAL TEFL

ISSUE NUMBER 6
(For publication in March 2019, and articles needed for 30 September 2018):
Three possible themes are: (Also see pages 5 & 6)
(a) “Histories of EFLT and ways of doing EFLT History, in order to better
understand our past and our present”(See p. 62)
(b) “What didn’t work in a lesson: Can we learn more from ‘failed lessons’
than from successful ones?” (See page 5 ). An article could simply be
a short report on a lesson which failed, or a student who failed, with
lessons drawn.
(c) “Exploring or evaluating a research claim or idea in your classroom”
Researchers do not always test out their thinking in real classroom
situations. This is your chance to give some feedback, against experience.
(Page 6)
LONGER ARTICLES
Longer articles should, so far as possible:
• Start from a clear research question, or from a problem met in
practice;
• Try to probe under the surface of the question addressed; and
• Be grounded to the EFL classroom, normally by use of examples and
by being based on experience.
To help others to follow up your work, when citing sources in articles which
present an argument, please, as far as possible, specify chapters or page
numbers where the experience or idea you refer to can be found. Shorter
articles reporting on classroom experience (see pages 5 & 6) do not require
citations and references. Send your work in WORD to:
alistair.maclean@outlook.comCopyright of articles will belong to the author,
and your article will be published in both a print version, and be available as a
