Communities of Supportive Professionals (Kazuyoshi Sato
& Tim Murphey) General education book on learner autonomy (George Jacobs) 'UNTELE
2004' conference
'Autonomy and Language Learning: Maintaining control' conference TESOL invites submission proposals for a 4th volume in the Professional Development series, tentatively titled "Communities of Supportive Professionals". We wish to invite descriptions of groups of language teaching professionals (informal and formal, institutional and non-institutional) who show exemplary ways of supporting each other and the group as a whole through particular structures and practices over time.
We are interested in descriptions
of both successful and unsuccessful activities and structures with particular
focus on the process of developing supportive communities. Some
of the areas that might be approached are questions of changing identities,
inclusion, orientations to new practices, group dynamics, communication
styles, support structures, getting groups going and letting groups
end smoothly, etc.
We foresee potential faculty groups as well as looser group structures submitting proposals and look favorably on multiple authors. Authors are requested
to send a short two page (500 word) proposal of their idea to the editors
by November 30, 2003: to both editors Tim Murphey and Kazuyoshi Sato
at mits@dokkyo.ac.jp &
yoshi@nufs.ac.jp respectively.

General education book on learner autonomy (George Jacobs) George Jacobs writes: "I'm writing a book chapter on Learner Autonomy for a general education, not language education, book. For you, what are the (total of) five key general ed books, articles, book chapters, etc. on learner autonomy or related concepts? Thanks."
