Subject:Call for Papers:Internet Mediated Arabic Education

Dear Arabic-L members
 
We are contacting you in the hope that you may direct us to
colleagues who are researching Internet-mediated intercultural
foreign language education in which at least one of the partner
languages is Arabic.  Specifically, we are talking about email / chat
/ videoconferencing projects between classes in different countries
where one group is comprised of speakers of Arabic and the other
group is comprised of learners of Arabic.  This configuration is also
known as telecollaboration.

We would like to invite persons working in this area to submit a
manuscript to a volume that we are co-editing  entitled:

Computer-mediated Intercultural Foreign Language Education.

The volume is forthcoming from Heinle & Heinle in 2005 in the
American Association of University Supervisors and Coordinators
(AAUSC) series that is under the editorship of Sally Magnan, the
current editor of the Modern Language Journal.

The full call for papers is located here:

http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/j/a/jab63/2005aausccall.html

Abstracts of 400 words or less are due by June 1, 2004.  Full
manuscripts are due Sept 1, 2004.  They would then go out for blind
peer review. Submission of a manuscript does not guarantee inclusion
in the volume. Publication of the volume is scheduled for early 2005.

If you could direct this query to any colleagues you know who might
be interested, we would greatly appreciate it.

with best regards wa salam, Julie Belz and Steve Thorne
