Call for Papers
SPECIAL ISSUE ON "LANGUAGE BARRIERS IN ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SERVICES"

The Canadian Modern Language Review (CMLR) invites manuscripts to be considered  
for a special issue on "Language barriers in access to healthcare services", to  
appear in September 2011. Language barriers can potentially compromise healthcare  
delivery when professionals cannot speak the patient's language or speak it poorly.  
Full and equitable healthcare is especially at risk in those areas where correct  
language usage--and the cultural values and norms such usage may reflect--plays  
a critical role in health communication. Such areas include, among others, obtaining  
informed consent; presenting bad news following diagnosis; discussing pain, sexual  
practices, or mental health; talking about death or suicide; discussing issues  
specific to youth and adolescents. It is now widely recognized that people from  
Canada's official language, First Nation, Metis and Inuit communities, as well  
as immigrants speaking languages other than English or French may, depending on  
where they live, risk experiencing language barriers to full and equitable healthcare.  
Similar problems exist worldwide. For this special issue, we invite submissions  
examining any language-related aspect of linguistic barriers to access to health  
care services. Relevant topics include, among others, the nature of linguistic  
differences as they relate to healthcare delivery, healthcare education, and second  
language training for health professionals. We especially welcome papers presenting  
results that might be applicable in the Canadian learning and teaching context.  
Our aim is to present the latest theoretical and pedagogical developments. We  
welcome articles in English or French presenting original research. Submitted  
articles will be subject to the normal peer review process of the CMLR.

Final deadline for submissions: October 31st, 2010.

For submission information, visit http://www.utpjournals.com/cmlr or contact
us at [log in to unmask] Receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged  
within a week of their arrival.

Appel a soumissions Numero Special
<< LES BARRI$E9RES LINGUISTIQUES DANS L'ACC$E9S AUX SERVICES DE SANTE >>
La Revue canadienne des langues vivantes (RCLV) invite la soumission de manuscrits  
pour un numero special consacre a la question des << Barrieres linguistiques dans  
l'acces aux services de sante >>, qui paraitra en septembre 2011. Des barrieres  
linguistiques peuvent compromettre la prestation des soins de sante, si les professionnels  
ne parlent pas la langue du patient ou qu'ils la parlent mal. La prestation equitable  
des soins est tout particulierement menacee dans les domaines de la sante ou le  
bon usage de la langue - et les valeurs et normes culturelles que pourrait refleter  
cet usage - jouent un role fondamental dans les communications reliees a la sante.  
Ces domaines de la sante incluent, entre autres, l'obtention du consentement informe;  
l'annonce de mauvaises nouvelles suite a un diagnostic; la discussion de la douleur,  
des pratiques sexuelles, de la sante mentale; la discussion de la mort ou du suicide  
et la discussion des questions qui concernent les jeunes enfants et les adolescents.  
Il est largement reconnu maintenant que, selon leur lieu de residence, les personnes  
provenant de communautes de langue officielle, de communautes des Premieres Nations  
ou de communautes Metis ou Inuit et les immigrants qui ne parlent pas francais  
ou anglais risquent de rencontrer des obstacles linguistiques qui peuvent entraver  
leur acces a une prestation de soins equitable. Ce probleme se pose actuellement  
dans le monde entier. Dans le cadre de ce numero special, nous invitons la soumission  
de manuscrits qui examinent tout aspect de la langue relie aux barrieres linguistiques  
qui peuvent entraver l'acces aux services de sante. Parmi les sujets pertinents,  
nous pourrions citer par exemple : la nature des differences linguistiques dans  
le cas particulier de la prestation des soins de sante, l'education en sante,  
et la formation linguistique en langue seconde pour les professionnels de la sante.  
Nous accueillerons avec un interet particulier les manuscrits qui presenteront  
des resultats s'appliquant aux contextes d'apprentissage et d'enseignement au  
Canada. Notre ambition est de presenter les plus recents developpements dans les  
domaines theorique et pedagogique. Nous invitons la soumission de toute recherche  
originale redigee en francais ou en anglais. Tous les articles soumis feront l'objet  
du processus habituel d'evaluation par les pairs.

Date limite de soumission : 31 octobre 2010
