<div>Colleagues, some of you may be interested in this opportunity.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Scott</div><div><b><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></b></div><div><b>*******************************</b></div><div><b><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></b></div><div><b>Call for papers</b></div><div> </div><div>Through English in Australia, AATE has a strong commitment to supporting and publishing quality educational research that is rigorous and evidence based. </div><div> </div><div>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: </div><div> </div><div>· school based</div><div>· action or practice based</div><div>· based on other forms of empirical and theoretical research</div><div>· drawn from and facilitative of group collaboration and the sharing of professional knowledge</div><div>· critically reflective activities by individual teachers and students</div><div> </div><div>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. </div><div>International perspectives are welcomed. All manuscripts will be subject to the usual review processes.
