Today, it serves as an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed academic journal, connecting educators, researchers, and learners worldwide.

✅ 100% Free for All Readers

✅ No Paywalls, No Subscriptions

✅ Global Access to Cutting-Edge Research

Why We Need Your Help

For 30 years, TESL-EJ has thrived on volunteer efforts, but maintaining a high-quality journal requires resources—website hosting, software purchases, registering our DOIs, and so much more. Unlike traditional academic journals, we receive no corporate or government funding and do not charge authors or readers. We are committed to keeping knowledge free, but we need your support to sustain and expand our reach.

To date, the editors have been funding the journal out-of-pocket. We can't sustain this expense and want to ensure a solid future for the journal.

Your Donation Will Help Us:

Cover website hosting & maintenance to ensure uninterrupted access.

Cover the cost of database registrations, DOIs, ISBNs, and other fees associated with publication.

Keep TESL-EJ free forever—no paywalls, no article fees.

Be a Champion for Open Access Education

Every dollar helps us continue our mission. If TESL-EJ has benefited you, your students, or your research, please consider donating today to ensure future researchers, educators, and learners can continue accessing this invaluable resource—free of charge.
