Proposals should be no more than 500 words in length, should be submitted in .doc or .pdf form only, and should include the following: - The proposed manuscript title - Description of the topic of your proposed manuscript and rationale for publication - Description of the empirical research that informs your proposed article - Discussion of the methods used to conduct your study and analyze your results - Discussion of how this proposed article will contribute to the field of teacher education on second language learning - The proposed manuscript length - Author information including name, institutional affiliation, email, phone and mailing address Chapter Proposal Due: November 15, 2010 Full Chapters Due: April 1, 2011 All submitted full chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
