Call for Applications: SEALC 2021 Publication Workshop, May 14-15, 2021

Hosted by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at UCLA

 

Note: the application deadline has been extended to May 3 for this workshop.

 

SEALC invites applications for an academic publication workshop. The goal of this workshop is to support Southeast Asian language instructors who are interested in submitting their work to academic journals but have little to no prior experience in publishing academically. Participants will be coached by Donna M. Brinton, retired Lecturer in the Department of Applied Linguistics and TESL at UCLA, in an interactive, webinar style workshop. The workshop will be held in two-hour sessions each day, 1-3 PM PT / 3-5 PM CT / 4-6 PM ET / 10 AM – 12 PM HT from May 14-15, 2021, with time for Q+A.

 

Webinar #1 – The Role of Publication in Teacher Professional Development

This webinar focuses on the importance of publication as part of the overall process of professional development. Participants will gain an enhanced understanding of the publication process, beginning with manuscript conception and continuing through determination of relevant journals, submission to the editor, responding to reviewer comments, and submission of the revised publication. Primary focus will be on the factors required for successful publication in the field of language teaching.

 

Webinar #2 – Enhancing Your Chances of Getting Your Research Published

This webinar focuses on how participants can enhance their chances of getting published. Included will be discussion of the various options for submissions (e.g., materials review, literature review, research report), relevant research options (e.g., case study, classroom research, action research), citation requirements and citation resources, issues of academic integrity, and tips for manuscript preparation. Primary focus will be on adhering to standards expected for publication in the field of language teaching.
