Call for Contributions

NEW WAYS IN TEACHING READING, revised edition

Seeking classroom reading ideas specifically for
a.	Young learners
b.	Internet

Deadline: 1 November 2011

If you would like to contribute, please contact the editor, Richard R. Day, at [log in to unmask]

One of TESOL's bestselling books, New Ways in Teaching Reading (NWTR), is undergoing revision for a second edition under the direction of Richard R. Day, editor. NWTR is a collection of activities and exercises contributed by teachers who have used them in their teaching of reading in ESL and EFL classrooms around the world.

Two areas have been identified for new contributions that address classroom ideas for reading:

a. Young learners - because the field of young learners has expanded greatly, the new edition needs contributions with activities and exercises that treat this aspect of teaching reading.
b. Internet - the current edition leaves a major gap in the area of using the Internet for teaching reading; thus activities and exercises in this area are welcome.

The new edition will continue with the at-a-glance, simple lesson plan. All contributions should follow as closely as possible the format of the current edition:

Length: 400-800 words

Section parts:
Title
Levels (Beginning, High Beginning, Intermediate, etc.)
Aims (e.g., encourage students to read outside of class)
Class Time (preferably brief, e.g., 10 minutes)
Preparation Time
Resources
Procedure
Caveats and Options (e.g., how to shorten or alter for different situations)
References and Further Reading
Appendix (e.g., sample word list)
Contributor (brief bio, e.g., 35 words)

All contributions will be vetted by the editor and given a final review by the TESOL Book Publications Committee; there will be no automatic acceptance.

Copyright: TESOL asks all contributors to assign their copyright to the association. The author(s) will be asked to sign a contract during the production cycle for the volume. Please do not submit work that has been previously published, currently under consideration elsewhere, or already under contract, and do not submit work for which you wish to retain copyright.
