The Journal of Second Language Writing 2017 Special Issue solicits submissions on the theme of Second Language Writing in the Age of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). As emerging Web 2.0 technologies have revolutionized the ways in which we communicate and construct knowledge, this issue of JSLW will highlight what it means to be literate in the 21st century, how new technologies transform the teaching and learning of L2 writing, and how these new technologies are incorporated into L2 writing. This special issue aims to explore: a) the transformational roles these new tools may have on L2 writing processes, texts, or notions of authorship; and b) the affordances these tools provide for L2 writing development. Contributions may explore learners' use of asynchronous and synchronous CMC tools, as well as other forms of writing such as blogs and fanfiction and the impact these new modes of writing have on opportunities for language and writing development.

Abstracts should be submitted by January 1, 2016.
