Dear Readers & Contributors,
Writing a research article requires the spirit of enquiry, application of a concept and deduce the results. I believe it is a lifelong exercise for learning. From the teetering steps of young academic writers to the confident strides of seasoned academia, this issue is a mix of both and all the spectrum in between. We at IJELLS, appreciate a genuine attempt of research writing and would like to encourage it.
With the CBCS pattern and most of the MA (English) programmes having ‘Project Work’, it provides the teacher an opportunity to initiate the students towards academic writing, research and publishing. IJELLS encourages young writers.
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, a platform where we help authors self-publish their work. Check out our webpage to learn more: https://www.ijells.com/ijells-publishing/.
Happy Reading and Happy Sharing!
