FOR ACTIVITIES for Communication Teacher
Communication
Teacher, a
quarterly teaching resource dedicated to the identification and promotion of
excellent teaching practices in the K-12, community college, and university
classrooms, is now soliciting manuscripts on teaching activities.
Communication educators in all contexts are invited to submit original
teaching activities that can be implemented in the classroom. Although
teaching activities that can be used in the basic/hybrid communication college
course are encouraged, teaching activities that can be used in other courses
(i.e., communication research methods, communication technologies,
communication theory, family, gender, health, interpersonal, intercultural,
mass, organizational, public relations, rhetoric, small group) are especially
welcome.
All
submissions should be instructional activities that can be conducted in either
the K-12 or college classroom. Each submission should contain the following
components: (1) a brief title; (2) the objective of the activity; (3) the
course(s) for which the activity is intended; (4) an introductory paragraph,
with a brief rationale for conducting the activity; (5) an explanation of the
activity, including any preparation/preliminary steps; (6) a debriefing
paragraph; (7) an appraisal of the activity, including any limitations or
variations; and (8) references and suggested readings (a minimum of three, a
maximum of five). Submissions should generally contain no more than 1500
words.
Manuscripts
must conform to the Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association (5th edition, 2001) and should not be
under editorial review for other journals. Submissions must be accompanied by a
detachable title page that includes author name and professional title, title of
the activity, complete mailing address, phone number, fax number, e-mail
address, and history of the submission. All material identifying the author(s)
or the institution should be removed from the manuscript. Manuscripts accepted
for publication will eventually need to be submitted on a 3.5"
IBM-compatible disk formatted for either Word or WordPerfect for Windows.
Submissions
will receive blind review by at least two members of the Editorial Board.
Reviewers will consider the following criteria in making their recommendations
for publication: (1) uniqueness of the activity, (2) usefulness of the activity
to a diverse readership, (3) contribution to instructional communication
pedagogy, and (4) clarity of writing style. Manuscripts will not be returned to
the author(s). The decision not to publish a manuscript is final.
