Editorial Policy
The Journal and Proceedings of the Gender Awareness in Language Education (GALE) Special Interest Group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching is a refereed research journal of the Gender Awareness in Language Education SIG, a Special Interest Group of the Japan Association for Language Teaching (Zenkoku Gogaku Kyoiku Gakkai).
We invite practical and theoretical articles and research reports on gender awareness in education and learning in Japanese and Asian contexts. Submissions from other international contexts are accepted if applicable to language teaching in Japan. Areas of particular interest are research related to gender, language and culture, or gender and language teaching.
The editors encourage submissions in four categories: (1) full-length articles, (2) short research reports (Research Forum), (3) essays on language education or reports of pedagogical techniques which are framed in theory and supported by descriptive or empirical data (Perspectives), and (4) book and media reviews (Reviews). Articles should be written for a general audience of language educators; therefore statistical techniques and specialized terms must be clearly explained.
