Vol. 1 No. 1 (2015): Issue 1

In the events of Aden University celebrations on the 45th anniversary of its establishment, it is my great pleasure and honour to write this lead-off editorial in the G-JETS (Global Journal of English and Translation Studies) first issue. This scientific international refereed journal is the first in the field of English and translation studies in Aden University. Our university has always strived to provide scholars and researchers the optimal conditions for presenting and publishing their research works. This materializes the great concern of the university in building strong relations between research and community. Today we open a new window for academicians and students to share their research papers that will contribute to excellence in teaching English and translation because excellent teaching is based on high-quality scientific research that provides new knowledge and new experiments. With the appearance of the first issue of G-JETS, a new academic achievement will be added to the record of the achievements of this university. Finally, I would like to present my thanks and appreciation to those who were behind this accomplishment, in particular Dr. Gamal Mohammed Ahmed, the Dean of the Faculty of Languages, who always shows hard work and excellence academically and administratively.
