Call for Chapter Proposals
Cooperation on Multilingual Writing in Global Virtual Learning Environments
A book edited by Birthe Mousten, Sonia Vandepitte, Elisabet Arnó, Bruce Maylath
To be published by IGI-Global

Without the knowledge of languages, histories, cultures, sciences, media and ethics, we will not be prepared for a future in which communication is of paramount importance. However, the setup of such a network can be a great challenge and raises many theoretical and practical questions. For this book, we therefore invite contributions that can range from research or case studies drawing on participants’ experience to educational projects based on a sound rationale, involving teacher and researcher networks between writers, translators, editors, and usability testers. The contributions may cover such diverse network issues as trust, cooperation, educational issues, syllabus planning, writing and translation practices, usability testing procedures and editing and revision processes and results. Chapters may take their starting point in educational contexts but must be network-related. The guidelines that are developed and described in the chapters must reach beyond academic circles into methods and practices that can be incorporated into professional work as well as in educational contexts. Long-term network results are preferred.
