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.
