Abstract
The setting and nature of research appropriate for classroom teachers of English is described. Arguments in favor of teachers’ research as a form of continuing professional development is reviewed, as well as rising demand from employers for publication. There is a need for a journal publishing English teachers’ classroom research, particularly with an aim to mentoring teachers who hold limited research/publication experience and lack research resources. Mentorship of less-experienced researchers is needed both in research development and at the publication stages.
