[EDLING:11] CFP: Language Teaching

[Francis M. Hult]

For the first time in the field, the leading journal Language Teaching
(Cambridge University Press) will now devote a section of research papers
dedicated exclusively to replication studies. Historically, LT has
maintained its role exclusively as a source of information, particularly
through its state-of-the-art reviews. However, in line with the new content
and format from 2008, publishing such papers will also bring in a new
creativity into the journal and a direct and unique contribution to current
research agendas, more characteristic of mainstream refereed research
journals. In deciding our purview for these papers, I decided to focus on an
area of experimental research which receives little or no specific attention
in the mainstream journals yet which - it is generally agreed - needs to
play a far more significant role than it has up to now in our field. In
keeping with the survey characteristics of Language Teaching we also
encourage submissions of meta-analyses which attempt to combine or
synthesise a series of comparable research replications. The details of this
permanent Call for Papers can be obtained from the Editor at:

could distribute this link amongst interested colleagues, students and/or
relevant local discussion lists.
