Thanks for your contributions on extensive reading and graded readers. Meanwhile, here is the next project: ****************************** CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Charles Jannuzi <jannuzi@mint.ocn.ne.jp> Michael Carroll <carroll@andrew.ac.jp ******************************* SPECIAL UNIVERSITY-THEMED JOINT ISSUE OF ON CUE AND LAC DEADLINE: 31 July 2003 On CUE, the publication of the College and University Educators'(CUE) SIG of JALT, and Literacy Across Cultures (LAC) wish to announce a special joint themed issue for 2003. The theme is L2 literacy (the teaching and learning of FL/SL reading and writing) at the university level in Japan and Asia. Possible topics for submissions could include the following: -teaching reading, -teaching reading, discourse and genre skills -teaching reading as part of an integrated approach (such as with listening or writing) -teaching literature (reading it, writing it), -teaching cross-cultural understanding through written texts, -testing reading comprehension and vocabulary -teaching and evaluating composition courses, -running reading programs (intensive or extensive reading), -case studies in learning a FL language through reading, -managing the language support elements of content teaching, -dealing with the subject-specific aspects of ESP/EAP/EST. Or propose and submit a paper that falls under other various topics that relate literacy and L2 language learning. We invite you to submit articles along the following lines (these are suggestions, variations are possible): Feature articles: 1800-3000 words written from teacher and classroom perspectives. Overly long lists of bibliography having only minor relevance to an article's topic and thesis are not encouraged. Authors should adequately document the works that they have consulted and read in conducting their teaching and classroom research. If an idea or fact or piece of information appears at least twice under different sources, then it might well be something that can be taken as 'common knowledge' in the field. The feature article does not have to be limited to reports on research (either in qualitative or quantitative traditions). Articles that emerge from non-traditonal research and reflective practitioner modes (such as the phenomenology of teaching) are also welcome. Articles in which the author relates existing theories and others' research findings to their own actual classroom teaching are strongly encouraged. Conceptual pieces in which the author demonstrates an ability to work across various disciplines and cultures to produce clarity and synthesis for actual classroom practitioners are also warmly invited. Scholarly reviews: 1200-2500 reviews comparing, contrasting and reviewing two or more recent publications that cover similar topic areas. The list of references might include key background books and articles that have preceded the works being reviewed. Reviews: 500-1500 word reviews of titles relevant to language teachers and their students, to include professional development titles, resources collections, textbooks (both full course and supplementary), and software. WWW links: 500-800 word list of reviews of web sites useful to teachers and students related to the theme of this issue. 'From the Chalkface' (Classroom activities): length of these will vary depending on the activity, but explanations should include a clear, step- by-step description of classroom procedures. Also helpful would be including rationale and the type of learner and classroom the activity is for. If you have a set of related activities, please consider writing up a somewhat more scholarly presentation as a feature (see above). The usual submission in this section is like the activities published in Modern English Teaching or English Teaching Professional. Opinion & Perspective (500-800 words). A chance to take on topics and positions in the form of a persuasive essay. Example: 'Difficult reading passages should be eliminated from university English entrance exams'. The most persuasive articles draw on support from scholarly sources to some extent, and they should be informative. Send your submissions to both of the following points of contact: For LAC: Charles Jannuzi <jannuzi@mint.ocn.ne.jp> For On CUE: Michael Carroll <carroll@andrew.ac.jp> The editors will forward your submissions to the relevant section editors and editorial advisory board readers. Format for submissions: Please send your files in .rtf and .doc so that your paper can be opened and read on the latest forms of MS Word. Sending it in .rtf is a safer way to share files and often proves easier to open on different versions of MS Word and across PC and MAC platforms. Papers published elsewhere (such as other JALT publications or in local research bulletins) will be considered; however, please make sure you are able to tell us where the paper was first published and who holds copyright. Please use APA style for in-text citations and the reference list. Both 'On CUE' and 'LAC' are intended for international audiences, many of whom are not native users of English. Therefore, it is best to stick to a 'plain English' style of writing. That is, use a variety of sentence lengths and types, but keep most sentences shorter than 25 words. Keep paragraphs fairly short and start new ones frequently. Use a lot of headings and sub-headings of an explanatory nature. Don't be afraid to present long lists of information as long lists with bullet points instead of overly long sentences. Consider covering and repeating key information in figures and tables to help present and reinforce your ideas in ways that are easier to understand. To see a sample of LAC articles on line, check out http://www.literacyacrosscultures.org for html and the file archive at this yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/literacyacrosscultures/files) for PDF. ***************************** DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: 31 July 2003 further inquiries: jannuzi@mint.ocn.ne.jp ******************************
