*******************************

Call for papers

Through English in Australia, AATE has a strong commitment to  
supporting and publishing quality educational research that is  
rigorous and evidence based.

The second edition of English in Australia in 2008 will be a themed  
edition of the journal focusing on teacher research.  We are  
interested in manuscripts dealing with any aspect of research  
undertaken by and with English teachers in English classrooms, the  
role of research, and how research impacts on English teachers and  
teaching.  Research is interpreted broadly and can be:

·     school based
·     action or practice based
·     based on other forms of empirical and theoretical research
·     drawn from and facilitative of group collaboration and the  
sharing of professional knowledge
·     critically reflective activities by individual teachers and  
students

Teachers find educational research most valuable when it enables them  
to extend and strengthen their professional knowledge and skills, and  
when it also assists in bringing about improved learning for  
students, therefore any manuscripts should link outcomes of the  
research with implications for professional learning and classroom  
practice.
International perspectives are welcomed.  All manuscripts will be  
subject to the usual review processes. Please refer to English in  
Australia for authorial guidelines or contact the Editor, Dr Karen Moni.
