Candlin & Mynard ePublishing: encouraging, exploring, enabling

Call for chapter proposals

Proposed Book: Cultivating Confidence in Writing (proposal website)
(Positive Pedagogical Praxis series edited by Tim Murphey)​

Editors: Ashton E. Dawes and Kathryn Jurns 

We, Ashton Dawes and Kathryn Jurns, language educators at Japanese universities, are putting together a collection of peer review and communicative practices for second-language writing classrooms. As writing teachers ourselves, we see the need for more focus on the confidence, community, and communication aspects that can support L2 learners' writing journeys. Therefore, we are working together with Candlin & Mynard to publish a book that shares different practices teachers use to get their writing students talking about writing. Here is a link to our website with further information and details. 

Here is the projected timeline:
  • Proposal deadline: December 31
  • Decision emails: January 31
  • Chapter submissions: April 30

We are looking for authors to submit chapter proposals (due December 31) on peer-review and other classroom practices at all levels of second-language writing education that incorporate communication or build students' confidence. For further details on what we are looking for, please take a look at our website. Feel free to share this call for chapter proposals within your international network of educators and researchers.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at [email protected] 

We look forward to hearing from you and reading your proposals.

Sincerely,
Ashton E. Dawes, Kanda University of International Studies, Japan
Kathryn Jurns, Rikkyo University, Japan
