TESOL Communications

TESOL Communications (TC) is a fully double-blind peer-reviewed international journal published by Clifford Media International. As the sister journal to the International Journal of TESOL Studies (Scopus), TC serves as a bridge between research and practice in the field of English language teaching and learning. The journal is dedicated to fostering meaningful dialogue between researchers and practitioners by providing a platform for sharing innovative, research-informed practices and practitioner-led insights. It focuses on the practical implications of current theories and research, featuring articles that present practice-oriented studies, reflective teaching practices, and collaborative projects between educators and researchers.

 

TESOL Communications emphasizes contributions that address real-world challenges in English language education, including innovations in curriculum design, professional development for educators, the integration of technology into teaching and learning, and culturally responsive pedagogies. The journal also welcomes submissions that explore classroom-based research, action research, and strategies for fostering multilingual and multicultural learning environments. By highlighting the dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences, TC aims to support the professional growth of educators, advance the field of TESOL, and strengthen the connections between research and classroom practice.
