Full Title: English across the Fracture Lines: the Contribution and Relevance of English to Security, Safety and Stability in the World

Call Deadline: 05-Jul-2016 

The British Council intends to create a new publication, to join its growing
collection of global publications, on the theme of English across the Fracture
Lines: the Contribution and Relevance of English to Security, Safety and
Stability in the World. 

We have appointed Dr Elizabeth Erling, of The Open University, as editor of
the volume. Our aim is to produce an authoritative publication which will draw
on a range of contexts and experiences from around the world. 

We are now seeking proposals for chapters for the publication. We are
interested in both research and conceptual pieces that are evidence-grounded,
describing practical experiences and examples (''stories'', case studies) of
how the English language can be used and can contribute to peace-making,
security, resilience, safety and stability in the world. For the publication
as a whole, we will be seeking a balance of contexts and experiences. Examples
might include: 

- Explorations of the content, pedagogy, and evaluations of English for
Peacekeeping projects 
- The role of ELT in programmes that seek to revolutionise military education 
- The role of English and language learning in terrorism/counter-terrorism
- English and civil unrest 
- The role of English during humanitarian crises 
- The role of English in reconciliation in post-war contexts 
- The role of English/foreign language use and learning in promoting the
resilience of individuals and communities during times of crisis 
- The contribution of language learning in general and ELT in particular to
promoting empathy, resilience, stability, intercultural understanding, human
rights and peace. 
- English in isolated states 

Proposals should be of no more than 300 words. Final drafts, once they are
accepted, will be around 4500-5000 words. Proposals should be sent to
Elizabeth Erling at Elizabeth.Erling at open.ac.uk by 5 July.

The final publication, for which the British Council will hold the copyright,
will be made freely available on our publications site:
www.teachingenglish.org.uk/teacher-development/publications.
Contributors will be paid a one-off fee of £200.
Do contact me if you have any queries. We look forward to hearing from you.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
