THE ASIAN JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDIES (AJELS)


ISSN 2619-7219

The Asian Journal of English Language Studies (AJELS) is the official journal of
the Department of English of the University of Santo Tomas (UST), the oldest
university in Asia. It is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that aims to
provide current literature to those concerned with research in the realm of
English language studies and English language teaching and learning either as a
second or a foreign language. Contributions to the Journal are mostly
from the Philippines and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

 

AJELS annually publishes research articles, brief reports, review articles,
and book reviews primarily concerned with the following: (1) the theories that
underpin English language acquisition, teaching, and learning; (2) the
contentious issues relevant to the international and intranational use of
English; and (3) the structure of English. Thus, the Journal features empirical
and descriptive studies marking significant academic and practical advances in
the fields of theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis,
psycholinguistics, multilingualism, stylistics, language and the law, language
education, and language policy.

 

As an open-access journal, which is free to readers or users, AJELS does not
charge any fees for submission or processing of papers for publication. Users
are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the
full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without
asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance
with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of open access. AJELS
is committed to meet the highest standards in research and academic publication.
The Journal is guided by the principles stated in the Publication Ethics and
Copyright section.


HISTORY

For decades, the university-wide Department of Languages managed disciplines
covering English, Filipino, Spanish, and Literature. But in 2010, English was
spun off as an independent department under the Faculty of Arts and Letters for
the purpose of laying the groundwork for the establishment of an academic
program called Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies (BA-ELS) at the
University of Santo Tomas. Corollary to this change, a journal was established
to create a platform for faculty members, and graduate and undergraduate
students to publish their research papers. The publication was intended to
support the development of a research culture and, at the same time, promote
excellence among the faculty members and students under the Department of
English. This publication was called the Asian Journal of English Language
Studies (AJELS). Although the publication is based in the University of Santo
Tomas, it also welcomes contributions from other universities and academic
organizations, both local and international, with a special focus on the Asia
Pacific region. With such orientation, the AJELS presents itself as a primarily
Asian platform reaching a wide audience internationally in the field of
linguistics and language education.

 

The first volume of AJELS was released in October 2013, with Dr. Marilu
Rañosa-Madrunio, as the founding editor-in-chief, at the helm. She was supported
by an editorial board composed of Dr. Alejandro S. Bernardo, Mr. Roy Randy Y.
Briones, Dr. Veronico N. Tarrayo, and Dr. Camilla J. Vizconde, and 13 scholars
from international universities who served as the advisory board. The journal
was officially launched on February 10, 2014. At present, it has in its roster
30 outstanding academics from reputable institutions around the globe who serve
as peer reviewers.

 

From 2013 to 2017, AJELS was published on print mode. In 2018, the journal
became fully online and open-access to make it more available to as many readers
and researchers as possible worldwide. This shift to online publication was made
possible through the University’s full support. Moreover, because open-access
publications are paperless, the bold decision the Department took to upgrade
AJELS to a fully digital mode is a significant step toward reducing our carbon
footprint and ultimately taking better care of the environment.
