CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Recipes for Success in Foreign Language Teaching
We are delighted to invite proposals for a collective volume of pedagogical
strategies and approaches to teaching introductory and intermediate-level
point-specific language lessons for both Spanish and French language
instruction.
So many useful tips and suggestions stay in the classroom and never make it to
other instructors who are teaching the same language, and sometimes even from
the same text, who could benefit from them. Time and again, we feel the need to
supplement our textbooks with our own activities to teach specific lessons. Our
collective volume seeks to share $E3tried and true$E4 strategies and activities,
both traditional and contemporary, for language teaching that have been road
tested but perhaps never before published, much like a collaborative cookbook
is a collection of best-loved recipes.
We are seeking submissions from post-secondary Spanish and French instructors,
including teaching assistants, of their favorite and most effective language
teaching activities that are the teacher$E2s own creations. These activities
could address lessons for teaching, but are by no means limited to:
- verb tenses (present, past, future, subjunctive, etc.)
- vocabulary (family, weather, appearance, etc.)
- telling time
- false cognates
- giving directions
- asking questions
- comparative and superlative
- adjectives
- possessive adjectives
- idiomatic expressions
Our goal is to assemble a sort of patchwork of second/foreign language teaching
strategies that include a variety of teaching methods, ranging from
time-honored to more recently developed lessons and activities that will
benefit language teachers. Therefore, we encourage and will accept submissions
from a variety of instructional strategies. The best of each type of approach
will be selected and included in our text.
Please forward submissions no later than June 25, 2005 to:
