CONTRIBUTIONS
Contributions of the following kind are welcomed: original articles
on the teaching of foreign language, literature, and cultures; papers
presented at meetings; announcements of meetings and reports of
proceedings; news items of professional interest; reviews of books,
materials, and films; creative writing by teachers and students.
TOPIC
You may write about something that has worked for you in the
classroom, observations you have made through teaching foreign
languages, some materials you have made or used which are very
effective, an experience you have had as a foreign language teacher.
BODY OF ARTICLE
Give the highlights of your findings so that other teachers may
follow your lead. Explain in a systematic or chronological way what
you have observed. Describe the materials you have used and explain
how they were used and how they worked. Narrate and discuss your
experience, giving both positive and negative sides, if applicable.
LENGTH
The article need not be long--approximately one-half to one page
in length, longer if you want. Writing an article for The
Beacon should not be an imposing task. We simply want
input from you, the foreign language educators of Georgia, to
find out what is working in your classroom. If you are unsure
about the format or the way to express what you want to say, the
editorial staff at The Beacon is always ready to assist
you. Just call or ask or mark your copy with a question mark on
the parts which may need editing.
