Call for Papers
The Journal of the National Council of Less Commonly Taught Languages (JNCOLCTL) is soliciting articles for publication.
Our general editorial focus is on policy, education, programs, advocacy, and
research in the field of less commonly taught languages (all foreign
languages except English, French, German, and Spanish). The envisaged
segmentation of the Journal is as follows:
a. Methodology and Technology,
b. Academia,
c. Beyond Academia,
d. Social Embeddedness
The first section shall include papers focusing on broader theoretical and
technological issues in all fields of less commonly taught languages. The
second section will encompass reports about research and teaching in
academia, at both K-12 and collegiate levels. The third section shall
comprise papers addressing research and teaching in government and industry.
Finally, the fourth section will address the issues of a broader social
environment, ranging from heritage communities to advancing LCTLs in federal
initiatives and legislation.
In preparing the manuscript, please use the latest edition of the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), see
http://www.apa.org/journals/authors/guide.pdf. Manuscripts should be a
maximum of 25 pages (excluding references, charts, notes, etc.) and
preferably submitted electronically via email attachment. Double-space the
manuscript throughout, including notes, references, and tables, using
12-point font with a 1.5 inch left margin. The manuscript should be
accompanied by a 150 word (or less) abstract and a cover sheet containing
the manuscript title, name, address, office and home telephone numbers, fax
number, email address, and full names and institutions of each author.
Because the manuscript will be blind reviewed, identifying information
should be on the title page only, and not appear in the manuscript.
While submissions are accepted throughout the year, in order for a paper to be considered for the 2009 volume, it has to be received by October 1, 2008. Please send your manuscripts to:
