Clarep Journal Of English And Linguistics (C-Jel)

The articles published in this volume of the Clarep Journal of English and Linguistics (C-JEL) are largely the outcome of the "Academic Writing for Africa: The Journal Article Workshop" convened by the Centre for Language Research and English Proficiency (CLAREP) under the sponsorship of the Volkswagen Foundation, Germany in May, 2018. The workshop provided young academics in Africa with opportunities for training and mentoring on writing for journal publication so as to enhance their relevance to their societies and to increase their contribution to international scholarship. C-JEL, volume 1, 2019 is the second publication arising from this collaboration; the first set of papers having been published in Research in English and Applied Linguistics (REAL Studies 15) in 2018 by Cuvillier Verlag Gottingen.
The Centre for Language Research and English Proficiency (CLAREP), is an educational non-governmental, non-profit organisation whose focus is on the advancement of language research in Africa and the promotion of the proficient use of language in all its spheres.
