Forum Deutsch (CATG)

Forum Deutsch is the newsletter of the CATG (Canadian Association of Teachers of German).
Articles are very welcome. Here are some suggestions for contributions as well as details on how to submit articles.

1. Suggestions for Contributions

• Descriptions of course materials and teaching/learning activities, projects, teaching tips, and ideas;

• Presentations of a theoretical nature on issues in teaching and learning German language and culture with a view towards their applicability in the classroom;

• Issues pertaining to professional development for teachers;

• "Landeskundliche Information": Presentations of important new developments and phenomena in the German-speaking countries

• Concise surveys of recent publications in other professional journals on the teaching and learning of German, with brief annotations;
• Reviews of textbooks at all levels;

• Brief reports on the publication of resources of interest to the readership (e.g., textbooks, readers, AV- and CALL-materials);

• News and announcements of more long-term relevance as well as reports from the CATG and its sponsoring and membership organizations (announcements of events such as workshops as well as reports from the "Basisgruppen" can be published by via e-mail and web page by "Kontakte".). This category may include items such as enrolment figures, announcements of new courses and programs in schools and colleges and universities, curricular changes and innovations -- any item which keeps all of us informed about the state of the teaching and learning of German across Canada;

• Reports from the member organizations of the CATG about significant initiatives and activities that our colleagues across the country may find useful in their own work.
   

2. Submitting Contributions

• Selection Criteria
  Contributions to "Forum Deutsch" are subject to peer evaluation to determine their suitability for inclusion in "Forum Deutsch." In particular, all contributions will be vetted by at least two experts in the field; contributions of a scholarly nature will be subject to double-blind refereeing.

• Format of Articles
  Only legible, double-spaced manuscripts in English, German and French, can be considered. Manuscripts should be no longer than 2,500 words (about ten pages). Lectures and workshops must be adapted for written publication. We welcome good-quality photographs, illustrations and graphics that have been copyright cleared. Scholarly articles should follow the MLA Guidelines. We would appreciate receiving the contribution on diskette along with the hard copy. Files (PC or Macintosh) should be formatted in WordPerfect or Word. While every effort will be made to publish articles in the form in which they have been submitted, the editorial committee reserves the right to edit all contributions. Authors will receive a copy of the edited document for their comments before publication.
