CALL FOR PAPERS: 1994 AAUSC VOLUME entitled "Faces in a Crowd: #
Individual Learners in Multisection Programs"#
#
    The Annual volume of the American Council of University #
Supervisors, Coordinators and Directors of Foreign Language Programs #
(AAUSC) is a refereed publication dealing with issues of interest to #
supervisors, coordinators, and directors of foreign language programs. It #
will be published and advertised by Heinle and Heinle and sent to almost #
200 AAUSC members, as well as to many department chairs nationwide.#
#
    Since previous volumes have dealt with Challenges in the 1990s #
for College Foreign Language Programs (1990), Assessing Foreign #
Language Proficiency of Undergraduates (1991), Development and #
Supervision of Teaching Assistants in Foreign Languages (1992), and #
The Dynamics of Language Program Direction (forthcoming, 1993), #
Volume 5 will focus on the individual learner in multisection programs. #
Both research-based studies as well as reports on the implementation of #
programs (e.g. tutorialrials, workshops, counseling, etc.) for language #
learners are sought. Possible topics for consideration are learner #
strategies, attitudes toward language learning and their impact on #
language acquisition, learner anxiety, learning disabilities, #
individualization within the standard language sequence, how to make #
basic courses respond to individual needs, when and for whom study #
abroad is most beneficial, and issues in placement and articulation as they #
affect the individual student.#
#
    In addition to the standard criteria used by all refereed, #
professional journals, we look for interest and relevance to supervisors of #
graduate teaching assistants and multisection courses. #
#
    The deadline for submission is February 1, 1994 and the volume #
will be published by November 1994. The editorial board recommends #
submission well before the deadline. Due to the short turn-around time in #
early spring, it is our policy to "pre-edit" as many manuscripts as #
possible. The suggested length for manuscripts is twenty to forty pages #
(including notes, list of works cited, tables, and figures). The contents of #
the manuscript may not have been published elsewhere.#
#
    Authors are asked to submit three copies of the manuscript, #
double spaced throughout and otherwise prepared in accordance with the #
style set in previous volumes of the series. Manuscripts should be #
submitted to:#
