First of all, we would like to thank Bunda Mulia University for allowing us to publish Journal of English Language and Culture (JELC). Without their support, we would not have been able to publish this journal. We would also like to express our gratitude to all journal writers that have been willing to spend their time writing the articles compiled in this first volume of JELC.

JELC is a medium for scholars to express their ideas regarding English Language and Culture. It covers English Language Teaching, Linguistics, Translation, and English Culture. The aims of publishing the journal are to enrich knowledge of English in general and to make readers more knowledgeable of specific fields in English.
