The Indian ELT and Literature Journal (IELTLJ) examines issues within the Indian ELT, Literature scene, and considers how traditional educational Approaches are integrated with or contrasted against. The journal is now accessible to the universal academic and teaching fraternity, where articles pertaining to ELT and Literature are published and viewed by all ELT and Literature professionals. The primary function of the Indian ELT and Literature Journal (IELTLJ) is to provide a freely accessible alternative journal on a bi monthly basis through the user friendly and highly accessible medium of the Internet that widens the target audience and authorship, particularly in the India

The IELTLJ also provides new insights into prominent issues and subjects that are emerging and are of contemporary interest that may not gain space in a variety of hard copy and more established publications. Some of these publications, whilst of academic merit, do not support an injection of new and future oriented thinkers. Thus the new generations of high quality original and committed authors now have a professional accessible medium to post and read insightful and ground-breaking articles. These articles, for the most part, may not find their way into costly journals that have the added problem of lacking accessibility for the highly agile ELT and Literature professionals who may find subscriptions both inconvenient and even costly.

Increasingly, the ELT field is becoming a more specialized one with interdisciplinary value, ranging from tourism, business, and language learning inter alia. And clearly, IELTLJ promises to become highly specialized as cross cultural and intercultural teaching perspectives come into prominence. Hitherto, IELTLJ has too great a tendency to see all ELT and Literature methodologies as having universal applications for the most part. IELTLJ sets out to more critically examine current and new methods in pursuit of helping to revitalize ELT and Literature education.
