Call for Papers: 2005 Louisiana English Journal; Focus: Grammar

Deadline: September 15, 2005

The Louisiana English Journal (LEJ) aids Louisiana's kindergarten through
college English language arts teachers by providing a forum for the exchange
of practical classroom ideas and methodology, and by showcasing creative
writing. An annual, published forum for members of the Louisiana Council of
Teachers of English, the Louisiana English Journal supports the research
contributions and stimulates an on-going dialogue 
between elementary, middle, and secondary teachers; supervisors of English
programs; college and university faculty; teacher educators;local and state
agency English specialists; and professionals in related fields.

The 2005 focus of LEJ is grammar.  Questions for onsideration include but
are not limited to:  How do we reinvent grammar for the grade-level
expectations of the No Child Left Behind Act?  Is teaching grammar obselete?
Is it possible to teach students grammar?  What works and what does not work
in the classroom?  Is there a better way to teach it?  What kind of
understanding of grammar and its importance do teachers need to impart to
students?  What methods of teaching grammar work best with ESL students?
Why do college students in advanced grammar classes "catch on" more quickly?
How does grammar aid in teaching the writing process?  Which diagramming
structure works best? Do students actually learn formal grammar when
studying a second language? Why is English grammar so "hard"?
