English Language Teaching in the European Union:
Theory and Practice across the Region
Editor: Lee McCallum
Publisher: Springer

Call for Book Chapters

The editor of English Language Teaching in the European Union: Theory and
Practice across the Region invites you to submit a chapter to an edited volume
that details how English is currently being taught across the European Union.
This comprehensive volume will be part of the Springer book series entitled
English Language Teaching:  Theory, Research and Pedagogy (series editor,
Christine Coombe). 
Chapters that describe previously unpublished  theoretical or empirical work
are encouraged, as are chapters that focus on any level of English language
education. 
Chapters will be evaluated on an ongoing basis, but I offer the following
flexible guidance on both topic coverage and chapter structure.

Part 1: Theories and Policies Teaching English at the Primary, Secondary and
Tertiary Levels
- Chapters may cover issues such as the policies that drive teaching and
assessment at these levels of education.
- Chapters  may cover the benefits and challenges of teaching and learning
English at these levels of education from the perspectives of teachers,
learners and other ELT stakeholders.
- Chapters may cover issues such as the implementation of CLIL, the use of
learners’ L1 and strategies for mediating language differences in the
classroom.

Part 2: Innovative Practices in Teaching Language Skills

- Chapters may cover current practice in the teaching and/or assessment of the
four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.
- Chapters may cover current practice in teaching and/or assessment of
specific areas of language (e.g., grammar, vocabulary, phraseology).
- Chapters may cover strategies that learners use across language skills. 

Part 3: Materials Development, Use and Evaluation 
- Chapters may cover different types of published or teacher-made materials
and discuss how teachers and/or institutions use and evaluate these materials
in their current or intended teaching.
- Chapters may cover the process of in-house materials development and report
on the perceived benefits and drawbacks of such a process.
- Chapters may cover how materials relate to the wider curriculum in an
institution or document how current materials fail to meet the needs of
learners following a particular programme of work.

Part 4: Technology-Enhanced Teaching and Learning 
- Chapters may report on the training teachers and students need to
effectively implement technology in the classroom.
- Chapters may cover the benefits and challenges for teachers and students in
using technology in the classroom.
- Chapters may cover how technology is being used to connect learning and
assessment in the language classroom.

Chapters should follow APA style, 7th edition as detailed at: 
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_style_introduct
ion.html

In addition, the following guidelines also set parameters for submitted
chapters:
- Title: 10-15 words 
- Abstract: 150-200 words 
- Keywords: 3-5 

The structure of an empirical chapter should include the following elements:
- Introduction     
- Theoretical framework   
- Research questions        
- Methodology     
- Results and Discussion     
- Implications of the findings for the context
- Conclusion
- References 
- Appendices (if relevant)

The structure of theoretical chapters will be evaluated on an individual
basis.

If you are interested in submitting a chapter, please send an abstract to Lee
McCallum at lm489 at exeter.ac.uk before the deadline of 30 September 2020.
