Task-Based III: Expanding the Range of Tasks with Online Resources
Dr. LeeAnn Stone, Editor

The aim of this third installment of IALLT's Task-Based series is to share and expand our collective repertoire of classroom-proven task-based activities that make innovative use of the many internet-based and other technologies currently available to language teachers and their students. Both experienced, technology-using instructors and those who may be intrigued by new technologies but not sure how (or even if) they can be used in a language curriculum will find stimulating, interesting, and useful activity options in this publication.

Rather than the templatized format of the previous two volumes (possible because of the limited range of technologies they utilized), contributions to this edition will be in narrative form. Contributors are charged with setting the description of their activity into the context of their institution, the demographics of their students, the extent or limitations of their institutional technology support and resources, and their own pedagogical and methodological tenets, to contextualize the activities and provide readers with a comprehensive picture of the settings in which these activities are engaged. An editorially-written summary that outlines the technology(ies) employed, language, and course level will precede each contribution as an advance organizer.

Manuscript requirements will follow those of the IALLT Journal:
* Chicago Manual of Style "scientific" convention.
* Double-spaced, spell-checked manuscripts.
* Times New Roman or Palatino fonts at 10 points.
* All manuscripts should be submitted in Rich Text Format (RTF).
* Do not use headers or footers. Your name should not appear outside the body of the document.
* Include a statement that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere.

Include a 30 to 50-word biographical statement, a short abstract of your submission, and your contact information on a separate page at the beginning of the document. We encourage you to include illustrative graphics, charts, artwork, photographs and/or screen captures in your manuscript. Each graphic (tables, figures, or screen shots) should be submitted as a separate file in TIFF format, with markers in the manuscript text to indicate where the image should appear.

Manuscripts are due to the editor no later than March 31, 2008.

Inquiries are welcomed and encouraged at any time: leeannstone@cox.net .
