Call for Submissions
SLW News, March 2012

SLW News, the newsletter of the Second Language Writing Interest Section of TESOL, is now accepting submissions for the March issue. The deadline is January 2, 2012. Authors retain copyright.

For the next issue of SLW News, we are particularly interested in previews of sessions for TESOL 2012. We also encourage members to submit summaries of their own or others’ presentations from any 2011 conferences. Finally, if you have tried out new CALL materials or found a new text of interest, consider writing a review.

As always, we encourage submissions of articles, announcements, and brief reports focusing on any issue of interest to second language writing professionals, including but not limited to reports on classroom-based research, assessment, advocacy issues, curriculum design, teaching techniques, and news from less-represented contexts (Pre-K through 12, two-year colleges, community programs, international K-12 schools, etc.).
