CALL FOR MANUSCRIPTS

The goal of the BEIS online peer-reviewed newsletter, Bilingual Basics, is to provide a forum for the discussion of educational and sociopolitical issues in pre-K through postsecondary bilingual and multilingual educational settings around the world including the teaching of English to Deaf students. The audience for Bilingual Basics is bilingual teachers (including Deaf educators), researchers, and teacher educators in TESOL. The newsletter serves as a vehicle for the expression of ideas and scholarship related to teaching and learning in bilingual classroom settings. The newsletter also takes an advocacy position with respect to bi-/multilingual education. It includes articles, research summaries, book reviews, convention information, and general commentary.

Call for Manuscripts for General Issue

What topics are appropriate for this general issue of the newsletter?

  • Short articles based on completed or ongoing research that is related to the topics described above;
  • Summaries of the discussion groups you organized for TESOL 20011 if of a general nature. (Summaries shorter than the length specified below are acceptable.);
  • Reactions to discussion group sessions that outline and further the dialogue related to bilingualism, multilingualism, and all educational contexts for diverse language learners are also appropriate;
  • Summaries of BEIS talks or workshops that you presented or attended at TESOL 2011 would also be of great interest; and
  • Timely issues of relevance to our interest section.

This is a nonthemed newsletter. The general issue typically includes preconference information, ballots, and a wider range of articles than in the themed issue.

  • Please note that we are now accepting submissions of articles that are either bilingual or written entirely in languages other than English! This reflects the efforts of this interest section to encourage a multilingual focus within TESOL. Acceptance of these articles is, however, dependent on our access to editorial readers with fluency in the language of the submitted article.
