Since it was established in 1958, English Studies in Africa has published some of the key interventions in literary studies. Given its origins in the Department of English at the University of the Witwatersrand, its emphasis for many years was thoroughly Leavesite. Looking back over the succession of editions, though, one can trace the challenges to this orthodoxy, first in the name of cultural materialism, and subsequently from a diverse range of theoretical perspectives. The journal has emphasized, as its name attests, the study of world literature in English within African contexts, at the same time as it set about promoting the study of African literature worldwide. Its founding editors clearly wished to establish a conduit between Anglo-American and Southern African literary studies, and this ethos persists, though in a revised form.Despite this commitment to its context, however, English Studies in Africa is unique in its willingness to publish articles on any literary, educational or language topic that the editors adjudge will be of interest to its diverse readership. Its current editorial board is committed to publishing research that is theoretically sophisticated, thoroughly argued and which makes a significant contribution to the field. While articles regarding English-language education and the English language in its various African manifestations are welcomed, contributors should be apprised of the fact that literary studies remain the core concern of the journal. Although critical articles are our first concern, book reviews, review essays, creative non-fiction and interviews are also welcome. Publishers wishing to submit books for review should send them to The Editor. All articles are peer-reviewed, and the journal is listed on both the ISI-index and is accredited by the South African Department of National Education. English Studies in Africa appears biannually. Guest editors are appointed for special editions of the journal, which alternate with general editions. In addition to the Editor, two Associate Editors and the Editorial Board are responsible for deciding on the themes of special editions and for arbitrating readers' reports on submissions. The journal has been published by UNISA Press (South Africa) since 2008 and in collaboration with Taylor and Francis since 2009.

English in Education, the academic journal of the National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE) publishes papers and articles which report on research related to all aspects of English teaching both from within the United Kingdom and from other nations, where English language and literature are part of the school and Higher Education curriculum. NATE is an active part of the International Federation for the Teaching of English (IFTE) and its journal seeks to share the knowledge and expertise of English teachers throughout the world. To this end, it provides an international forum for the work of researchers, practitioners, advisers and consultants who are engaged in questioning both practice and policy related to the curriculum and in particular it promotes dynamic and progressive approaches to teaching. The work of the Journal is overseen by the Academic review Board which ensures fair reviewing of all submissions through anonymous refereeing. The Journal invites the submission of papers produced within a research paradigm which report on dynamic and interactive pedagogies and which interrogate contemporary responses to the changing nature of communication in all its forms, including drama, digital and media literacy, as well as all aspects of both language and literature. Guest editors are engaged for Special Issues to focus on a particular theme or contemporary policy question. The journal is published by Wiley-Blackwell for the National Association which represents teachers of English within the four countries of the United Kingdom and supports international teachers of English. It has a wide readership in Britain, Canada, Australia and the USA. As well as books and pamphlets, the Association also publishes the professional journal, English Drama Media (EDM) and the magazine, NATE Classroom.

English is an internationally known journal of literary criticism, published on behalf of The English Association. Each issue contains essays on a wide range of authors and literary texts in English, aimed at readers within universities and colleges and presented in a lively and engaging style. There is a substantial review section, in which reviewers have space to situate a book within the context of recent developments in its field, and present a detailed argument. English is unusual among academic journals in publishing original poetry. This policy embodies the view that the critical and creative functions, often so widely separated in the teaching of English, can co-exist and cross-fertilise each other.
