>
> Call for Papers on Foreign Language Staff Selection, Mentoring,
> Evaluation
>
> Papers are invited for the Year 2000 volume of the American
> Association of University Supervisors and Coordinators of Foreign
> Language Programs. The volume, published by Heinle and Heinle, is
> tentatively titled Foreign Language Teaching Assistants, Lecturers, and
> Adjunct Faculty: Their Selection, Mentoring, and Evaluation.
>
> Edited by Benjamin Rifkin, this volume will consider the principles and
> practice of hiring, mentoring, evaluating, and rewarding teaching
> assistants, lecturers, and adjunct faculty in foreign languages.
> Suggested topics include: criteria for selecting instructional staff,
> including the relationship between TAships and the graduate program;
> assessment of applicants' linguistic competency and of potential teaching
> ability; documentation of these competencies after instructors begin
> teaching; procedures for mentoring instructors and rewarding them for
> excellent teaching; role of the language program director and other
> department members in all of the above; nature of communication among
> applicants, employed instructors, and the department, college, and
> university administrators; and legal ramifications of hiring and retention
> practices. Essays should draw upon theory as well as upon practical
> models and should not be restricted to a description of a single program.
>
> The volume editor welcomes questions about the suitability of topics and
> advance submissions.
