We encourage the submission of articles relating to any area of CMC- mediated foreign language educational practice, including reports of original research, critical literature reviews, conceptual pieces, and papers addressing assessment, cultural factors, and/or the creation of new and productive forms of foreign language education involving Internet communication tools. Specific technologies of interest: We would like to include research addressing a wide array of synchronous and asynchronous text and audio CMC technologies, such as e-mail, a-synchronous discussion tools, synchronous text chat, web-log (blog) technologies, instant messenger, Internet telephony, voice chat, cell phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), video chat, wikis, and/or additional communication technologies. Papers describing technological innovations and their use in foreign language contexts are also encouraged. Suggestions for possible papers: We encourage the submission of methodologically diverse research (quantitative and/or qualitative methods, linguistic analyses, experimental design, discourse or conversation analysis, sociocultural theory, etc.) addressing, but not limited to, any of the following areas: 1. Measurable increase in foreign language competency/performance related to CMC activity 2. The development of pragmatic competence within CMC environments interactions 3. Transfer from CMC to other modalities (e.g., speaking, formal writing) 4. Intercultural communication and CMC 5. Quasi-experimental or comparative research 6. Less commonly taught languages and CMC 7. Critical pedagogy and CMC 8. Discourse-based and/or qualitative CMC/FL research 9. The (new) role of instructors and students in CMC learning contexts 10. CMC-mediated project-based learning 11. Pedagogical research critically documenting CMC best practices Contact Information: Please send inquiries and suggestions for contributions to all three co-editors: Bobbie Lafford (blafford@asu.edu) , J.
