What We Publish

ÌÇÐÄVlog publications address the ÌÇÐÄVlog mission: providing vision, leadership, and support for quality teaching and learning of languages. We encourage research-informed publications that provide educators with guidance on curriculum, assessment and instruction and that serve the interests of instructors, researchers, and/or administrators.

At this time, we are not accepting submissions, but we anticipate opening up the process again in fall 2026. Thanks for your patience!

Submission Materials

Interested authors/editors submit:

  • A CV or resume
  • The ÌÇÐÄVlog proposal form
  • At least one sample chapter

Submission Process

Submitters will receive an automated confirmation at the conclusion of the online submission process, and initial feedback will be sent within six weeks. Within four to six weeks, authors receive feedback from ÌÇÐÄVlog regarding the status of the manuscript.

Submitted proposals are reviewed by two experts in the field, to answer the following questions:

  • Does the proposed manuscript make an original contribution to the field?
  • Does the proposed manuscript support ÌÇÐÄVlog’s mission?
  • Is the proposed book sufficiently different – and better – than the competitor books to warrant publication?
  • Are all of the topics that should be included in this type of book adequately covered?
  • Is the writing style and the reading level satisfactory and appropriate for the intended audience?
  • Is the content appropriate for the audience, course, and/or level?

In some cases, a third reviewer may also be engaged to review the submission. Eligible reviewers are current ÌÇÐÄVlog members, editors of Foreign Language Annals, and/or members of ÌÇÐÄVlog’s committees.
