John Benjamins Publishing is please to announce a new journal in the 
field of language education:

Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education
Edited by Siv Björklund and Diane J. Tedick
University of Vaasa / University of Minnesota

ISSN 2212-8433 | E-ISSN 2212-8441

The Journal of Immersion and Content-Based Language Education 
(JICB) aims at publishing research on language immersion and other 
types of content-based language education programmes that are 
subject matter-driven and subject matter-accountable. The journal will 
provides a forum for research on well-established immersion and 
content-based programmes as well as research on new initiatives 
within the broad field of content-based language education. Both 
programme-specific and programme-contrastive articles are invited.

JICB editors welcome submissions of the highest quality that report on 
empirical research and/or offer theoretical discussions, and we seek 
innovative submissions that push the field forward and generate new 
knowledge. We encourage work that aims to break down barriers that 
have isolated language education from other disciplines. The content 
of each JICB issue is expected to be geographically broad and 
multidisciplinary (pedagogy; applied linguistics; sociology; psychology; 
speech, language, hearing sciences; language policy and planning; 
etc.). JICB supports the use of a wide range of research 
methodologies (qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods), including 
action research.

Immersion programmes are school-based, subject-matter driven 
programmes that aim for academic achievement, additive bilingualism 
and biliteracy (multilingualism/multiliteracy) and cultural pluralism 
through increased intercultural competence. They incorporate high 
language intensity (i.e., at least 50% of subject matter instruction 
through the medium of the "immersion" language). JICB targets a wide 
range of immersion/bilingual programmes including:

    * second or foreign language immersion (e.g., Swedish immersion in 
Finland, French immersion in Canada, Mandarin Chinese immersion in 
the U.S., English immersion in Hong Kong)
    * bilingual immersion (e.g., Korean/English "two-way" immersion 
programmes in the U.S., French/English programmes in Canada)
    * double immersion programmes (e.g., French-Hebrew-English 
programs in Canada, English-Hebrew-Portuguese programmes in 
Brazil)
    * developmental bilingual programmes (e.g., Spanish/English 
programmes in the U.S.)
    * indigenous/aboriginal language immersion programmes that aim 
for language and culture revitalization (e.g., Māori immersion in New 
Zealand, Hawaiian immersion in the U.S.)
    * immersion programmes in minority autochthonous languages (e.g., 
Irish immersion in Ireland, Basque immersion in Spain)

Content-based language education (non-immersion) is also subject-
matter driven and includes, for example, language across the 
curriculum (LAC) initiatives at the post-secondary level, CLIL (content 
and language integrated learning) programmes, sheltered second 
language instruction [in English as a second language (ESL) 
programmes in the U.S., Australia, the UK, e.g.], language for specific 
purposes, and so on.

JICB will begin publication in 2013.
