We are writing to let you know about a current call (attached below) that we have developed for a special themed issue on writing research outside of the U.S. In our initial editors' introduction, one of the themes we highlighted was the growing role of globalization. Over the past several years, we have gotten a number of submissions from international authors/sites. However, other than a few articles from researchers in Canada, we have not received manuscripts that fit our mission well. Many have been small empirical studies of very specific ESL issues (e.g., a small study of a way of teaching EFL vocabulary in country x); a few have presented stronger arguments, but as literature review or theoretical reflection, while we have chosen to focus on research reports (outside of some invited work). Thus, for our final issue, we are hoping to focus on some of the excellent research on writing that we know is taking place outside of the U.S. The value of somewhat different traditions of research and theory as well as of different educational and social conditions will, we hope, make for an interesting issue that forwards the international dialogue on writing theory, research, and pedagogy. We have attached the call. If your own research fits within the parameters of this call, we hope you will seriously consider submitting a manuscript. Otherwise, we hope that you may be able to forward this call to individuals or groups who you think would be likely candidates for such a special issue. As always, we very much appreciate the many ways you as Board members have assisted us, the journal, and the field through your generous service. Best, Paul Prior, Sarah McCarthey, and Mark Dressman Research in the Teaching of English Graduate College of Education University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1310 S. Sixth St Champaign, IL 61820
