Guidelines
We are inviting abstracts of 200-250 words for chapters of 2,500-4,000 words.
You are welcome to submit multiple abstracts, but please start a new submission form for each submission.
We have been in contact with Candlin & Mynard Publishing who have expressed interest in publishing the work under their “Pedagogical Praxis” series. The series focuses on offering advice, sharing activities, and giving pragmatic guides to enhance teaching practices.
Please see the Rationale page to view the possible topics we are looking for in proposals. We are looking for brief chapters that share classroom activities which promote communication and peer-feedback in L2 writing courses.
