From: "Dr Graeme Porte" <[log in to unmask]>
I am one of the new editors (together with Ewa Jaworska) of LANGUAGE
TEACHING (Cambridge University Press). This prestigious publication
brings together in one journal the latest findings in language teaching
and learning. Each four-part volume contains some 700 abstracts
reporting research in over 200 multilingual periodicals from around the
world. Each issue also features one or more specially commissioned
state-of-the-art review articles, ranging across topics as important
and diverse as language assessment, task-based learning and teaching,
intercultural competence, pronunciation teaching, and language policy.
As part of a new series, we are currently looking for contributors from
specific L2 backgrounds other than L2 English who would be able and
willing to write such a paper selecting significant research over a
period of the last five years in Applied Linguistics/Foreign Language
Teaching which has been carried out on, in this case, L2 German, and
published in national and international media and including doctoral
dissertations, conference papers, and web-based material. Our idea is,
in this way, to bring to the attention of our wide L2 readership
research work that needs to reach a larger audience, aware as we are
that perhaps too much of what is published and viewed these days is
based on exclusively L2 English applications.
In principle, I would be interested to hear from anyone who could
deliver such a paper in English and am willing to provide more details
about requirements and fees to interested parties. The suggested length
of these papers is about 12000 words with references and, once the
proposal for the paper has been accepted by the team of external
reviewers, we would ideally be looking for draft copy around end-2007
for a late-2008 publication slot.
