Dear Readers and Contributors,

Welcome to the Volume 3 Issue 1 of IJELLS. We now enter the third year of our journey; it on one hand gives us a sense of contentment yet on the other hand alerts us into the daunting task of sustaining and developing this academic enterprise. We hope we live up to the standards we aim to stabilise and achieve.

We now plan to tighten the editorial processes of selecting a submission for publishing. The focus would be on originality, and that we have decided not to compromise upon. The articles from now on will undergo a stringent set of processes to be able to feature in the upcoming issues. The contributors are motivated to write responding to their original thought processes and seek base in established theory.

We are planning to come up with two issues. One on poetry and the other on translated stories. We shall communicate with you shortly on the information. Till then, exercise your grey cells and enjoy reading this issue.

Happy Reading!

Dear Readers and Contributors,

Welcome to the Volume 2 Issue 4 of IJELLS. We have successfully completed two years of presenting an opportunity for publishing research within reach.

The exclusivity of research has always been a daunting proposition to young researchers. When we opted for the open access format, the only intention was to make research accessible. With the ever present issue of concern about being open to plagiarism, we move ahead with our basic unbiased and un-misted resolve into 2014 to make research easy to access. Though the idea of this journal was not commercial in design, we have opted for charging a fee from the contributing academicians instead of going fully commercial with advertisements.

On this second anniversary of IJELLS we celebrate whole heartedly open access research, hoping that researches understand the importance of free access research and use their good sense of judgement against plagiarising the easily available original work.

Another development we are extremely happy to share is the addition of new members on our editorial board. The contribution of editorial members with their wide expertise and experience is heartily welcome.

Happy Reading!

Regards,
Editor

Dear Readers and Contributors,

Welcome to the Volume 2 Issue 3 of IJELLS. We welcome you on board this great reading experience of assortment of candies. We have to confess, each article has mesmerised us as children are, definitely, by chocolates.

Though some articles have tried to break ground in the truly conventional areas, it is equally interesting to watch more contemporary work considered for research.

As we have promised we have started a new column called “Interesting Read” from this issue onwards to encourage and inspire creative writing in the contributors. All of us refrain from creative writing because usually we do not have a clue about where would it be published. Now that we have an exclusive space earmarked for it, go….writers, colour the paper black and blue with your opinions, thoughts and everything worth reading!

Thinking minds need to be inspired. We hope these articles inspire all those who read them.

Regards,
Editor

The poem section carries, A Shop, very reminiscent of our lives and homes. The following four poems are the angst of the writer on an issue close to their heart and they were influenced by.

Literature section saw a collection of papers, few of which analysed books and stories tempting the reader to surely have a go at the books they have written about.

The Language Teaching section saw a curiously interesting mix of articles, with the conscience of an English Teacher/Trainer reawakened towards their roles in the bigger game of language acquisition.

Communication Skills section reinstates the importance of this area in our professional spheres.
