About the journal
Aims and Scope
A refereed publication, The Modern Language Journal is dedicated to promoting scholarly exchange among teachers and researchers of all modern foreign languages and English as a second language. This Journal publishes documented essays, quantitative and qualitative research studies, response articles, and editorials that challenge paradigms of language learning and teaching.
The Modern Language Journal offers 6 or 7 essays or research studies per issue, a professional calendar of events and news, a listing of relevant articles in other journals, an annual survey of doctoral degrees in all areas concerning foreign and second languages, and reviews of scholarly books, textbooks, videotapes, and software.
The Modern Language Journal also offers Perspectives, a section that appears in issues 2 and 4, which presents timely professional issues for discussion through an introductory article followed by several commentaries.

Call for Monograph Proposals
The Modern Language Journal
Monograph/Focus Volume Series
Guidelines for Prospective Monograph Authors
The Monograph/Focus Volume will appear as a fifth issue of the MLJ beginning in 2007. Appearing in alternate years, the monograph and focus volumes will be included in individual and institutional subscriptions to the MLJ.
The following guidelines should be used by authors submitting proposals for the first MLJ monograph, to appear in 2008. The Monograph (to be under 200 pages in length) may treat any topic related to second language learning and teaching, that is, within the scope of the MLJ. Both theoretical topics and extended research studies are welcome. Preference will be given to topics concerning languages other than English, although work in ESL and EFL will be considered if it has implications for teaching other languages as well.
Monograph proposals should include the following:
1. In a detailed statement of purpose (5-7 pages double spaced, 12 pt. font), include the following:
The objective of the proposed monograph and an explanation of the unique and significant contribution it makes to the field of second language acquisition or foreign language pedagogy
The language(s) addressed or illustrated and, if applicable, additional languages to which the work would offer insights.
A comparison/contrast with monographs that have covered the same or similar topics, and an explanation of what sets your monograph apart from them.
An explanation of how the approach taken in the monograph does or does not represent a departure from, or extension of, conventional wisdom. Explain how this monograph will contribute to the discipline.
Other comments that reveal different, original, or interesting aspects of your proposed project
A sentence or two explaining why you are submitting your proposal to the MLJ monograph series.
If possible, a brief description of anticipated special production issues such as
- The number and type of illustrations, photographs, tables, maps, glossary, appendices, etc.
- Whether they will require any special design considerations, copyright permissions, etc.
2. A separate annotated outline (table of contents), including a short narrative for each section that describes how that section contributes to the monograph.
3. If you have a sample chapter, please include it with your proposal.
4. A list of suggested readers, including those who might have already read the manuscript. Some of these readers may be contacted for review, but additional readers will also be chosen.
5. Author(s) information: Your curriculum vitae, including publications, selected talks, and offices held in professional organizations, as well as contact information.
Electronic files containing monograph proposals are due to the Editor of the series (Barbara Lafford, blafford@asu.edu) by May 15, 2006. The Editor will inform prospective authors of publication decisions by June 30, 2006. The author(s) of the manuscript chosen will be sent more detailed guidelines and a timeline for manuscript preparation for the 2008 publication date.
