New orientations to English language teaching have been prone to political interpretations as well as sensitive to challenges posed by cultural and pedagogical issues and problems. CALR special issue on New Pedagogical Orientations in ELT aims to explore local and global influences on the profession, and specifically economic globalization and instrumental inevitability. However, explicit and implicit objectives and deliverables, cultural obstacles, ideological and professional division, and control for quality standards remain at the heart of the consideration. The main themes include, but are not limited to: Theoretical grounding and structuralist orientations Comparative applications in bilingual contexts Functionalistic trends Language Acquisition English Linguistics Pedagogy & Didactics Classroom Technology Design of Learning Systems Classroom & Teaching Strategies Methods of Evaluation Multilingual Contexts of ELT GUIDELINES FOR PAPERS Deadline for submission of full paper is August 16, 2010 Papers should use the following style and the guidelines below.
