The topic and subtopics must appear in initial capitals and use block paragraphing all through. Plagiarism is highly discountenanced in AJELLS; so authors should subject their papers to plagiarism check before submission.

Copyright: The contributor should ensure clear permission as the editors will not take such responsibility. The author must approve the article before we publish the final article in our journal.

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.
