Focus and Scope

The OKTESOL JOURNAL (OTJ) is a professional journal published by the Oklahoma Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (OKTESOL). OTJ encourages the submission of previously unpublished articles on topics of significance to individuals concerned with the teaching of language. The journal accepts and publishes original articles primarily in the research and practice of the teaching of English to speakers of other languages, which includes K-12, university, and adult ESL education settings. OTJ prefers that all submissions be written so that their content is accessible to a broad readership, including individuals who may not have a familiarity with the subject matter addressed.
