Title: Call for Manuscripts: TESL-EJ Special Issue: Incorporating Instructional Pragmatics into ESL/EFL Teacher Education
Body: Call for Manuscripts TESL-EJ Special Issue: Incorporating Instructional Pragmatics into ESL/EFL Teacher Education Date of Publication: September 2011 Deadline for Submissions: Feb. 15, 2011 Guest Editor: Zohreh R. Eslami, Associate Professor, Texas A&M University E-mail: zeslami@tamu.edu September 2011 issue of TESL-EJ will focus on scholarly research perspectives and classroom-based practices related to Pragmatics and Teacher Education. Pragmatic competence is one of the vital components of communicative competence that needs to be considered in L2 teacher education programs. Unfortunately, available teacher education sources on ESL methodology and assessment lack a focus on teaching the pragmatic aspects of language. Pragmatics has been identified as an important component of language teacher’s knowledge base and appears to have been incorporated into some teacher education programs in both ESL and EFL contexts. However, a recent nationwide survey (Vasquez & Sharpless, 2009) has found that the treatment of pragmatics in teacher training courses tends to center on theory rather than practical applications. Specific preparation focused on practical instructional pragmatics is needed for language teachers to be bale to effectively teach L2 pragmatics. To address such needs, this issue welcomes submissions of high-quality articles on topics relevant to the incorporation of instructional pragmatics into L2 teacher education in ESL and EFL contexts. The following are some suggested topics: - Incorporating instructional pragmatics into L2 teacher education in ESL contexts - Incorporating instructional pragmatics into L2 teacher education in EFL contexts - In-service and pre-service teachers perceptions of pragmatics and teacher education - Native and nonnative English speaking teachers (NNESTs) perceptions of pragmatics and teacher education - Developments and challenges facing the integration of pragmatics into L2 teacher education programs - Teacher education models used in the integration of instructional pragmatics into L2 teacher education courses - Approaches and strategies used to incorporate instructional pragmatics into L2 teacher education Send original and unpublished manuscripts on the related topics along with the author’s name, affiliation, email address, and a 50-word biographical statement to zeslami@tamu.edu. All submissions must conform to regular TESL-EJ submission guidelines, which you will find linked on the TESL-EJ site at http://www.tesl-ej.org The deadline for submitting a manuscript is Feb.15, 2011.

Title: Middlebury to Develop Online Language Venture
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/education/14middlebury.html?hpw Middlebury to Develop Online Language Venture By TAMAR LEWIN April 13, 2010 Middlebury College, a small Vermont college known for its rigorous foreign-language programs, is forming a venture with a commercial entity to develop online language programs for pre-college students. The college plans to invest $4 million for a 40 percent stake in what will become Middlebury Interactive Languages. The partnership, with the technology-based education company K12 Inc., will allow Middlebury to achieve two goals, said Ronald D. Liebowitz, the president of the college: It will help more American students learn foreign languages, an area in which they lag far behind Europeans; and it will give Middlebury another source of revenue. Partnerships between universities and commercial entities have become increasingly common in recent years, but the Middlebury venture is unusual in that it ties the college’s academic reputation in foreign languages to a third-party vendor. Moving into such an uncharted area carries risks, education experts said. Read the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/education/14middlebury.html?hpw

Title: Article: The Death of Liberal Arts
Body: From http://www.newsweek.com/id/235894 The Death of Liberal Arts How the recession and unemployment are making schools and students rethink the value of an education in the humanities. by Nancy Cook April 5, 2010 After the endowment of Centenary College in Shreveport, La., fell by 20 percent from 2007 to 2009, the private school decided to eliminate half of its 44 majors. Over the next three to four years, classic humanities specialities like Latin, German studies, and performing arts will be phased out. It's quite a change from 2007, when NEWSWEEK labeled Centenary the "hottest liberal-arts school you never heard of," extolling its wide range of academics. In their place, the school is considering adding several graduate programs, such as master's degrees in teaching and international business. Read the full article at http://www.newsweek.com/id/235894
