Writing & Pedagogy is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the theory and practice of writing in educational contexts. W&P aims to disseminate knowledge, to stimulate innovation, and to support excellence in the teaching and learning of writing through publication of articles reporting research, reflecting on practice, examining trends in writing media, and reviewing new books. The journal further aims to encourage dialog and develop synergy across disciplines and levels of education around the issues and practices of writing. With these aims in mind, W&P solicits articles focused on K-12 and college/university writing in English, language arts, and other disciplines. Although the focus of the journal is on writing in educational settings, W&P will consider submissions which address relevant writing theory and/or practice outside of formal educational contexts.
Types of Articles
W&P seeks both full-length and short articles on the theory and practice of teaching writing, pedagogical issues and practices of writing in the disciplines, teaching writing to speakers whose primary language is other than English, writing technologies and online contexts, administration of writing programs, assessment of writing, and book reviews.
The journal will be published in both online and hardcopy versions and will appear twice yearly, in Spring and Autumn. W&P is seeking articles for Volume 1, 2009 in all of the categories listed below. Please submit your contribution for Volume 1 using the online submission system provided on this site (For Authors, at the top of this page, or contact the editor ) by 15 May 2008 deadline.
Research Matters
Full-length articles (7500-9000 words) describing original research, critically reviewing research studies, or otherwise discussing issues of theory and research related to writing and pedagogy. Articles reporting any type of research (linguistic, comparative, ethnographic, survey, historical) are welcome. Evidence of adherence to research guidelines such as review by institutional review board (IRB) may be requested where relevant.
Reflections on Practice
Mid-length articles (2000-4000 words) addressing practical concerns related to writing and pedagogy or describing and critically reflecting on original teaching practices and setting these in a larger context of educational issues or writing theory. We are particularly interested in reflections on teaching ideas that have been refined over a period of time in response to circumstances, or that compare different approaches in relation to actual effects on the students or other outcomes.
From the E-Sphere
Short articles (1000-1200 words) describing online developments and applications (computer-assisted language learning, web-based applications, wikis, blogosphere, multiliteracies).
New Books
Readers’ reviews of books in any area included in the journal; normally 1000-1200 words but longer comparative or theoretical review articles will be considered. Potential reviewers should first contact the Review Editor to discuss available books for review. Reviewers should aim for an informative and balanced review that includes: an overview of the content of the book, reflections on both its strengths and weaknesses, and an assessment of its audience and value.
Themed Issues
W&P will also publish themed issues, and proposals for these are welcomed. We are currently seeking contributions for the following Themed Issues:
Teaching Writing at (Post)-Graduate Level 15 May 2008 deadline
Plagiarism in the Academy 15 November 2008 deadline
In the case of themed issues, please contact the editor in advance of submitting: mcpennington@georgiasouthern.edu.
