Current Issue
The Awka Journal of English Language and Literary Studies (AJELLS) is a quarterly production of online, peer-reviewed publication of the Department of English Language and Literature, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. The journal is visible online, indexed by Google Scholar but print copy will be on special edition and on demand. The multidisciplinary focus of AJELLS enables it to draw contributors not only from language, literature, literary criticism, linguistics, sociolinguistics, pragmatics, stylistics, but also welcomes researches from allied disciplines such as gender studies, critical discourse analysis of media, political, medical, religious, ecological, and other discourses, psychoanalysis, philosophy of language and language therapy. Papers from Theatre and Film Studies, Modern European Languages, Igbo, African and Communication Studies and Chinese Studies are also welcome. In fact, the journal accepts language/literature-related researches in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Law and other related areas of specialization.
AJELLS insists on quality, originality and sound theoretical and empirical bases in all papers. Emanating from the Department of English Language and Literature, a high level of grammatical constructions, proper organisation and presentation of facts, good paragraphing and error-free write-ups are germane. Authors are expected to properly self-edit their papers before final submission.
