Dear Shannon<br><br>
The paper seems likely to be within our field provided it is not
exclusively language analysis, but has definite pedagogical
applications. I can only suggest you consult the guide to authors
(see my signature) and then send it in for review, which usually takes
8-12 weeks.<br><br>
Thank you for your interest.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Dear Professor Davies:<br><br>
I am writing concerning a manuscript which I would like to submit to
"System" <br>
for possible review; however, I am unsure whether it meets the needs or
<br>
expectations of the journal and am hoping you might be willing to offer
your <br>
advice.<br><br>
The manuscript applies a discourse analytic approach (Davies and Harre's
<br>
positioning) to analyze the interactional strategies (in particular, that
of <br>
shifting modality) employed by two English language learners engaged in
remote <br>
task-based synchronous multimodal CMC (voice and text chat). This
<br>
investigation arose out of a desire to understand why one of these
learners <br>
had a tendency to rely on the written mode (text-chat) despite the speed
and <br>
convenience of the oral mode (voice-chat).<br><br>
While it is not my intent to generalize the stratgies these particular
<br>
learners used, the objective of this paper is to illustrate an approach
that <br>
researchers and teachers might apply to uncover various strategies
learners <br>
employ to garner increased opportunities for language use in
computer-mediated <br>
interaction. Such strategies may not be revealed by the counting of
turns and <br>
negotiation routines common to straightforward conversation
analysis.<br><br>
"System" seems to be a journal which promotes the publication
of exploratory <br>
studies to help researchers and language teachers understand ways in
which <br>
technology can be used to address issues of language learning.
Though this <br>
manuscript was written with such a goal in mind, I would appreciate any
advice <br>
you may have.<br><br>
Best,<br>
Shannon Sauro </blockquote>
