Abstract:
			
A Journal of Language Teaching and Research in Southeast Asia

Now entering its 34th year, RELC Journal is published on behalf of the
Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) Regional
Language Centre (RELC), located in Singapore. It presents information
and ideas on theories, research, methods and materials related to
language learning and teaching. The journal welcomes contributions
that have in mind the common professional concerns of both the
practitioner and the researcher, providing a bridge between theory and
practice.

As of 2003, the Journal is published by Continuum and will appear 3
times per year, April, August and December. This increase in frequency
reflects a broadening of scope. The Journal will continue to promote
an approach to research on language and language-related concerns with
particular reference to education, especially, although not
exclusively, in Southeast Asia. Within this framework the journal
welcomes contributions in such areas of current enquiry as first and
second language learning and teaching, language and culture, discourse
analysis, language planning, language testing, multilingual education,
stylistics and translation. The broadening of scope will be reflected
in articles that will present more 'state of the art' surveys, as well
as theoretical conceptualisations that contribute fresh insights into
the multidisciplinary field of language in education. With the
directions that are now being taken in language issues in education,
reporting findings is on! ly part of the task; there has to be a
critical look at the methodologies used in these studies and the
theories used to support the research. As part of our service to
teachers and researchers, one section of the Journal will continue to
be devoted to book reviews and a compilation of books 'received'.
