Call for Manuscripts
Texas Speech Communication Journal
Volume 33

The Texas Speech Communication Journal issues a call for papers that focus on instructional communication, communication education, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. Papers can examine topics such as teaching effectiveness, student behaviors, teacher behaviors, student involvement, civic engagement, learning communities, communication anxiety, critical pedagogy, experimental designs, etc.

Contributors may approach the topic from a variety of perspectives: critical/rhetorical, qualitative, and quantitative. Teaching Tips submitted for Volume 33 should reflect best practices in teaching development, training, reflection, and assessment. Manuscripts should be received no later than February 10, 2008. Manuscripts not devoted to instructional communication, communication education, and the scholarship of teaching and learning will be considered for the research section of the issue as space allows. TSCJ follows a policy of blind review so no author identification should appear in the body of the manuscript.

Manuscripts should not exceed 25 pages and be written according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). The title page should include the author's name, academic position, institutional affiliation, full mailing address, telephone number, email address, brief author bio, and a history of the manuscript (presentation at conferences). An abstract of not more than 150 words should accompany the manuscript. The author should also include keywords for the article. Email submissions are preferred for both manuscripts and teaching tips (either in WordPerfect or Word.). The format for Teaching Tips should include learning objectives, description of preparation needed for the activity, a description of the activity, instructions for debriefing and a list of resources. Book reviews for this issue will focus on instructional communication, communication education, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
