Call for JSLW 2017
Special Issue Proposals
Journal of Second Language Writing is accepting proposals for a 2017 special topic issue from interested guest editors.
We seek proposals that address a theme that will be of interest and relevance to the journal’s international readership of L2 writing scholars.

• Adolescent L2 writing in U.S. contexts
• The future of genre in second language writing: A North American perspective
• Writing in foreign language contexts: Research insights Articles to be included in the issue may be invited by the guest editors, or the guest editors may put out an open call for papers for the issue.

Aims and Scope of JSLW
The Journal of Second Language Writing is devoted to publishing theoretically grounded reports of research and discussions that represent a contribution to current understandings of central issues in second and foreign language writing and writing instruction.
Some areas of interest are personal characteristics and attitudes of L2 writers, L2 writers' composing processes, features of L2 writers' texts, readers' responses to L2 writing, assessment/evaluation of L2 writing, contexts (cultural, social, political, institutional) for L2 writing, and any other topic clearly relevant to L2 writing theory, research, or instruction.
