Scholarly Articles (2,000-5,000 words)
Scholarly articles are evaluated by at least three members of the board of reviewers through a process of blind review. Reviewers evaluate these articles on the basis of content, originality, information accuracy, clarity, and contribution to the field. These articles are clearly identified as Refereed Article in the journal.

Scholarly articles report on original inquiry and cite current and relevant research and theory as a basis for making recommendations for practice. Scholarly articles in the areas listed below will be given equal consideration:

• Advocacy and Leadership (e.g., analysis of national trends or policies, effective leadership and advocacy models, etc.)
• Practical (e.g., exemplary implementation of an early language learning program model, innovative approaches to teaching, etc.)
• Research (e.g., quantitative or qualitative studies that have direct implications to early language learning, etc.)
• Theoretical (e.g., guidelines for practical application anchored in the literature, etc.)

Features (1,000-3,000 words)
Features are evaluated by at least two readers, one of which is a member of the NNELL Executive Board, and the editor. Features address subjects of appeal to early language teachers, administrators, researchers, and others interested in the early learning of World languages. They may include teacher-to-teacher advice on issues affecting the profession, descriptions of successful advocacy initiatives, or selected invited contributions on topics of interest to the profession.

Activities (800-1,500 words)
Descriptions of successful language learning activities are expected to provide the following: a) language learning goals; b) applicable standards; c) materials; d) a description of the procedures, and e) assessment plan. Please keep in mind the diversity of languages represented in our readership in your examples and illustrations.

As space allows, we may also consider your language specific item for a full review.
