EmailHello, ESPers worldwide!
As many of you know, the TESOL ESP IS and the IATEFL ESP SIG have been collaborating in a number of ways, including online discussions, speaker exchanges, and publishing opportunities. In this regard, I am pleased to announce that we have recently received the following announcement from Mark Krzanowski (Editor-in-Chief, ESP SIG Journal: Professional and Academic English). I think that we are very fortunate to have this opportunity to publish in our field, and I encourage you to take advantage of it!
All the best,
Kevin

IATEFL ESP SIG Call for Articles – Issue 42
Professional and Academic English is a peer-reviewed journal published bi-annually by the IATEFL English for Specific Purposes Special Interest Group (ESP SIG), and sponsored by Garnet Education. The journal publishes articles from researchers and practitioners working in the field of academic, professional or occupational English in various contexts and disciplines. These articles range from research-based work to personal experience of experimenting or implementing an ESP course. A sample past issue in PDF format can be viewed on (please note that you may have to copy and paste the address):
