The Journal of the National Network for Early Language Learning serves the profession by providing a medium for the sharing of information, ideas, and concerns among teachers, administrators, researchers, and others interested in the early learning of languages. In an effort to address the interests of the profession, both practical and scholarly articles are published. Practical articles describe innovative approaches to teaching and administering language programs for children that have proven to be effective. Scholarly articles report on original research and cite current research and theory as a basis for making recommendations for practice.
Scholarly articles are refereed, i.e., reviewed anonymously by at least three readers.
Refereed articles are identified as such in the journal. Format and Style To be considered for publication, manuscripts should be double spaced with margins of at least one and one-half inches. To insure anonymity, the writer's name should ONLY appear on the upper right-hand corner of the title page. Preference will be given to manuscripts which do not exceed 20 typewritten pages. Editorial Policies and Procedures Authors submitting manuscripts to be refereed should bear in mind that articles are sent to reviewers around the country for evaluation.
