"World Language Teaching and Learning in the N-Generation: Issues and 
Perspectives"


	Don Tapscott, in his book Growing Up Digital (1998), coined the term 
"Net Generation" in reference to the group of young people who have 
grown up immersed in a digital- and internet-driven world. While the 
exact years of birth for those included in this generation is debated, 
the idea is that it includes those born between 1976 and 2001, being 
comprised, then, of some 88 million members. Others, in reference to 
these children of the Baby Boomers, have called them the N-Generation, 
the Y-Generation, or the Millennials. Certainly, there is no definitive 
agreement about the chronological composition, or labeling, of this 
group, but it is readily apparent that to reach and teach these 
individuals, traditional pedagogical techniques need to be revisited.

	To that end, the editors are requesting submission of manuscripts for a 
monograph tentatively entitled: "World Language Teaching and Learning in 
the N-Generation: Issues and Perspectives." This volume will focus on 
the research, practices, and professional interests/isssues of world 
language instructors, researchers, administrators, and language lab 
directors concerned with the teaching and learning of world languages at 
all levels of instruction. Manuscripts may include, but are not limited 
to, data-based research studies, policy essays, revised/new 
methodologies, curriculum studies, technological implementations and/or 
practical applications within the world language classroom. Contributors 
are invited to address issues such as the use of the internet, Ipods, 
Xpods, video streaming, e-mail, instant messaging, IM language, Telnet, 
wikis, cell phones, online or hybrid courses, etc. and how these are 
used in and/or affect world language teaching and learning. Deadline for 
submission is January 15, 2008.

	Submit manuscripts in electronic form, either as Word or WordPerfect 
document (e-mail attachment or on diskette), or address questions, to:
