SEALC invites applications for an academic publication workshop hosted by UCLA Center for Southeast Asian Studies.

The goal of this workshop is to support Southeast Asian language instructors who are interested in submitting their work to academic journals but have little to no prior experience in publishing academically. Participants will be coached by Donna M. Brinton, retired Lecturer in the Department of Applied Linguistics and TESL at UCLA, in an interactive, webinar style workshop.

This webinar focuses on the importance of publication as part of the overall process of professional development. Participants will gain an enhanced understanding of the publication process, beginning with manuscript conception and continuing through determination of relevant journals, submission to the editor, responding to reviewer comments, and submission of the revised publication.
