Dear colleagues,  

We are in the process of preparing a publication entitled “Language Program
Vitality in the United States: From Surviving to Thriving in Higher
Education.”  The volume is being developed in conversation with Springer for
the Educational Linguistics book series. 

This book will document and address root causes of declining enrollments seen
in language programs at U.S. institutions of higher education over previous
decades. It will identify obstacles created by programs and institutions that
discourage students from either initially exploring or continuing with
language study, challenge long-held beliefs about language program structures,
as well as promote opportunities for language programs to address these
obstacles and innovate in the field.  

There are several opportunities for participation in this volume, including
full chapters and also "thumbnail sketches,” which are vignettes or ideas for
future innovation. Please see the https://celta.msu.edu/surviving-to-thriving
for more details on the book, some recommended topics, and information on how
to submit your proposal.  

Deadline for Proposal Submissions: November 1, 2021 

We welcome your contributions and conversations with you about this volume. If
you know of others who may be interested in contributing, please feel free to
pass along this information! 

Sincerely,  

Emily Heidrich Uebel (Michigan State University), Felix Kronenberg (Michigan
State University), Scott Sterling (Indiana State University)
