IDEAS Journal

IDEAS Journal published by English Education Study Program of IAIN Palopo is a biannual, refereed, open access, and practitioner-oriented electronic journal dedicated to enhancing and disseminating scholarly work of the current theory and research in the field of English language teaching and learning, linguistics, and literature.  It publishes both conceptual and research-based articles which includes, but is not limited to the following fields: 1. Language Teaching, Learning, and Assessment 2. Language Curriculum and Material Development 3. Linguistics and Applied Linguistics 4. Cultural Issues in Language Education 5. Modern and Classic Literature Studies Index.   Then, all editions are fully double-peer-reviewed by a team of experts in English language teaching and learning, linguistics, and literature from all over the world. The IDEAS welcomes submissions written in different varieties of world Englishes. The reviewers and Associate Editors come from a wide variety of cultural and academic backgrounds and no distinction is made between native and non-native authors. As a basic principle, the IDEAS journal does not define competence in terms of native ability, but we are a strictly reviewed journal and all our reviewers expect a high level of academic and written competence in whatever variety of English is used by the author.

 Every effort will be made to accept different rhetorical styles of writing. The IDEAS Journal also makes every effort to support authors who are submitting to an international journal for the first time. While major revisions may be requested, every effort is made to explain to authors how to make the necessary revisions. Each submission is first assessed by the Associate Editors, and then sent to reviewers who supervise the editorial review. Authors are notified by email of these results. Authors should note that due to the very large volume of submissions received, it may take 7 weeks for reviews to be completed.

All authors who comply with the requirements below receive an acknowledgement upon receipt to confirm the safe arrival of the paper. The IDEAS Journal publishes the most recent data and research on many areas of English language teaching and learning, linguistics, and literature studies. Papers that refer to the latest research will receive priority.
