Subject: Call for Chapter Proposals: Peer Review & Communicative Practices in L2 Writing


We are inviting proposals (100-200 words) along with a sample material
for a forthcoming collection of innovative peer-review and
communicative practices in L2 writing classrooms. Materials that
encourage communication or drive innovation in peer review will be
compiled into a field guide– a companion to Cultivating Confidence in
L2 Writing: Communicative and Peer Review Practices (Eds. Ashton E.
Dawes & Kathryn Jurns, 2026). Proposals are due Dec. 31, 2025.
The full rationale and sample submission can be seen on our website:
www.cultivatingconfidencebook.com
Sharing second-language writing classroom practices that integrate
communication helps address challenges like the isolating nature of
writing tasks. It introduces innovative peer review practices and
tools to foster a communicative environment, benefiting both
experienced and new teachers. By integrating these activities, writing
teachers can help students build confidence as language learners and
authors while engaging more deeply with the writing process and
enhancing their overall language skills.
All accepted submissions will share classroom activities that promote
the following:
  Peer review practices
  Strategies for training students to give and receive feedback
  Speaking in writing activities
  Techniques for verbalizing the writing process
  Strategies for scaffolding communication into the writing process
  Conversations about writing
  Comparisons of peer review practices
  Strategies for low-level learners
  Strategies to include shy & introverted students
  CLIL projects that combine writing and speaking
  Skills based practices to improve student confidence
Please include the type(s) of course(s) that the activity suits, and
language or grade levels of students in your proposal.
Contributors are welcome to submit multiple proposals; however, please
complete a new submission form for each practice you would like to be
considered for inclusion.
A full chapter will include a brief rationale and overview of the
activity, a step by step guide to implement the practice, and any
materials that accompany the practice. The total chapter word count
will up to 2,000 words, not including the materials, references, or
suggested readings.
The collection will be published as a companion volume to Cultivating
Confidence in L2 Writing: Communicative and peer review practices
(Eds. Ashton E. Dawes & Kathryn Jurns), slated for publication by
Candlin & Mynard ePublishing in early 2026 as part of their
Pedagogical Praxis series. The series focuses on offering advice,
sharing activities, and giving pragmatic guides to enhance teaching
practices.
