Profile: Issues in Teachers' Professional Development

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope This journal is led by the PROFILE research group at Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras—Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogota campus. It is a publication mainly concerned with sharing the results of classroom research projects, reflections and innovations undertaken by teachers of English as a second or foreign language as well as by teacher educators and novice teacher-researchers. Starting from the assumption that our professional knowledge is enriched by different members of our academic community, the journal welcomes papers from different parts of the world, diverse educational levels and wide-ranging contexts. In sum, the Profile journal belongs to the areas of language education and applied linguistics; it deals with topics regarding the learning and teaching of English as a second or foreign language and teacher education in the same field. It is addressed to an international readership of pre- and in-service teachers. We accept contributions from authors who already hold an undergraduate or graduate degree, which excludes minors and undergraduate university students. Editorial Management Manuscript submission and editorial management are carried out through the OJS system, which allows us to record each stage of the article submission, evaluation, and publication process, ensuring traceability and control. We maintain continuous supervision to prevent any manipulation of the editorial process, including the review of editorial procedures, staff training, and monitoring of any suspicious activity that may have an impact on editorial decisions.
