Dear colleague,
As you may be aware, Iranian Journal of Language Teaching Research (IJLTR) is planning to publish one Special Issue each year beginning with 2016 (in addition to two regular issues which appear on the 1st of January and July every year). Special Issues are theme-based and guest-edited by leading figures in the field.

Call for papers is now open for all Special Issues (details below).
