CALL FOR PAPERS - SPECIAL ISSUE

"Computer-mediated discourse and interaction in second and foreign language learning and teaching"

The Canadian Modern Language Review (CMLR) invites manuscripts to be considered for a special issue on "Computer-mediated discourse and interaction in second and foreign language learning and teaching," to appear in September 2012. We are interested in submissions that showcase the discourse and interaction observed in computer-mediated contexts both within and beyond formal, structured educational contexts. Possible topics include, among others, negotiation of meaning, focus-on-form(s), task-based language learning and teaching, mediation, zone of proximal development, scaffolding, assisted performance, turn-taking and the sequential organization of interaction, repair, uptake, pragmatics, and sociolinguistics in any type of computer-mediated communication or discourse (e.g., synchronous chat, blogs, forums, email, wikis, social networking sites) in any participation structure or context (e.g., between learners within the same institution, telecollaboration, informal learning or noneducational contexts). We also seek to promote the critical discussion of theoretical constructs and methodological traditions in second language acquisition and discourse/interaction studies as extended to computer-mediated discourse and computer-mediated interaction research. In addition to empirical research reports, we encourage submissions focusing on classroom praxis (cf. the CMLR "Focus on the classroom" rubric). We welcome articles in English or French presenting original research. Submitted articles will be undergo the normal peer review process of the CMLR.

Final deadline for submissions: October 31, 2011.

For submission information, visit http://www.utpjournals.com/cmlr or contact us at cmlr@utpress.utoronto.ca. Receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged within one week of their arrival.
