As guest editors of a Special Issue of the Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education (JICB), we invite you to submit proposals on the following topic:
· Teacher education and professional development for immersion and content-based instruction: Research on programs, practices, and teacher educators
The JICB is international and multidisciplinary in nature and welcomes submissions of the highest quality that report on empirical research and offer theoretical perspectives that can push the field forward. The aim of this Journal is to disseminate research on language immersion programs and other types of content-based language education programs that are subject matter-driven and subject matter-accountable such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programs in Europe and elsewhere. The journal provides a forum for research on well-established immersion and content-based programs as well as research on new initiatives within the broad field of content-based language education/CLIL.
About this Special Issue:
Authors are invited to submit proposals focusing on teacher education (TE) and professional development (PD) for immersion and content-based language education/CLIL contexts at any educational level and in any content-based language educational setting that qualify as subject matter-driven and subject matter-accountable. Any manuscript submitted should be original and not have been previously published or currently be under review elsewhere.
This Special Issue endeavors to:
• disseminate research on TE and PD endeavors within the context of immersion and other content-based language education/CLIL programs that are subject matter-driven and subject matter-accountable;
• cover a wide range of topics within the context of teacher preparation in immersion and other content-based language education/CLIL programs, such as program effectiveness, TE/PD practices, and teacher educators’ experiences/knowledge/beliefs, only to name a few;
• disseminate information about TE and PD best practices within immersion/CBI/CLIL contexts;
• identify important implications for future research in the field linked to TE and PD in immersion/CBI/CLIL contexts;
