News from the Publication Policy Directorate – call for contributions to book series

Dear LANGSCAPE members,

we hope you’re all fine and we send you our best wishes for the New Year.

In the last LANGSCAPE meeting in Brussels it was decided to pursue the project of a printed book series. Moreover, it was considered important to have 3 titles ready to be able to contact a publisher who might be interested. The BoD suggested that the first volume for the series could be based on selected papers from the Brussels Conference “SOCIOCULTURAL COMPETENCE & LANGUAGE LEARNING IN MULTILINGUAL SETTINGS” (2014). Katja, could you please give us further information about that? We also know that Jean-Paul and Marie-Françoise Narcy-Combes are offering to publish a monography in this series about their current research.

As we would like to proceed with this project, we’re contacting you today in order to find out whether you’re also planning to publish a volume in this series. If so, could you please contact us with details about a potential publication project?

Thanks for your help and all the best,
Christiane Fäcke (christiane.faecke@phil.uni-augsburg.de)
