THE ENGLISH TEACHING FORUM

The English Teaching Forum is a quarterly journal for teachers of English as a foreign or second language. The Forum has been published since 1963. Currently 60,000 copies of the magazine are distributed in over 100 countries. It features articles by well-known scholars, readers worldwide, and the editorial staff. Articles focus on the theory and practice of teaching English and include discussions of methods, techniques and ideas useful in the classroom. Thematic content varies, often focusing on an aspect of American culture or a particular language skill or teaching approach.

Published four times a year (in January, April, July, and October) for the teacher of English outside the United States, the Forum is distributed abroad by American embassies. Questions about subscriptions should be addressed to the Public Affairs or Cultural section of the American Embassy in Quito.
