Dear colleagues, After months of planning and consultations with experts in the field, the undersigned are launching an ELECTRONIC Journal for Intercultural Second/Foreign Language Teaching: Didactics and Methodology for German as a Foreign Language (Zeitschrift f=FCr Interkulturellen= Fremdsprachenunterricht: Didaktik und Methodik im Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache). The first number is expected to be published on May 1, 1996. There is a demo of the journal on the Net already: The address is http://www.ualberta.ca/~german/ejournal/ejournal.html We are inviting you to consider submitting a contributions in English, German or French for publication to this strictly refereed publication. If you are interested in obtaining more detail, please do not hesitate to e-mail us. We would be pleased to send you information on the layout, the target clientele, the members of the Editorial Board who will ensure a high standard for this publication, and so on. The Journal's focus will be the intercultural approach (ISLT) to teaching second/foreign languages, and there is much that the social sciences and cultural sciences can bring to this approach. We are therefore inviting papers (ca. 13,000 words in length) on all aspects of the DIDACTICS and METHODOLOGY of the INTERCULTURAL aspects of second language teaching. Invited are contributions from the many fields of second language teaching, education, all sub-areas of linguistics, psychology, literature, anthropology, etc.=20 There will be three numbers per year with about six formal papers each. The Journal will also contain sections with reviews; an electronic discussion forum; a pre-publication section for papers on which the authors invite critical comments; reports on conferences and on relevant work in other journals; research projects in ISLT; news from professional organizations, etc. We expect to work closely with professional associations in second language teaching all over the world. Access to most parts of the Journal will be free. A modest subscription fee, to cover the administrative costs of publishing this Journal, will be required for access to all parts. We hope to hear from you soon! Please pass this announcement on to colleagues who might be interested.
