Warm Greetings!
We have a very interesting set of articles this time i.e., January 2015. These articles range from the ‘Absurd’ to the ‘Real’ and ‘Code Switching to the Hot Seat’. The English & Communication Skills section is the briefest this time and the editors feel that this area is still unexplored. We recommend contributors to share lesson plans and other ideas so that the teachers can benefit.
The authors before submitting an article need to understand that handling this huge amount of correspondence is humanly a difficult task. They need to be sure about which article needs to be submitted before hand instead of constant corrections and updations. The team of IJELLS would deeply appreciate if we are given the correct information to work upon.
This issue has an interesting section of Creative writing with a special article under the tab ‘Interesting Read’ at the end of the Journal. Please provide any feedback to us at editor.ijells@gmail.com
Happy Reading!
Dr. Mrudula Lakkaraju
