Dear Readers & Contributors,
Welcome to the October 2023 issue of IJELLS. We are closer to completing 13 years in the field of academic publishing.
This issue holds together more papers in the area of English Language Teaching than in English Literature. In Literature ‘Johari Window’ becomes the theoretical framework to understand the significance of communication in Dr Joyce Edet’s paper on Myriam Warner-Vieyra’s Juletane. In ELT, Bharata Muni’s ‘Rasa Theory’ is the framework for an ELT lesson plan. These two instances prove that research should challenge the borders and not be restricted to water-tight compartments.
If you have a suggestion for us, kindly mail it to dr.mrudulalakkaraju@gmail.com.
International Journal of English: Literature, Language and Skills – IJELLS extends its service into publishing books. We have started the enterprise IJELLS Publishing. This is a platform where we help authors self-publish their work. Check out our webpage to understand more at https://ijells.com/ijells-publishing/.
Happy Reading and Happy Sharing!
