Four years ago, TexTESOL V created a peer-reviewed online journal to publish articles on topics of interest to our membership. Supported by expert writing teachers within our North Texas TESOL affiliate membership who serve as peer-reviewers/editors, we provide a high-quality annual journal issue, available to the general public on our website. Instructions for submissions are in the most recent issue of Texas English Language Teaching (TexELT).

The first issue of this peer-reviewed online journal, volume 1, issue 1 (ISSN 2325-2979), was published in September 2012. This issue contains three articles:
