In order to promote the exploration and application of educational technologies in Chinese language learning and teaching, we are pleased to announce the establishment and the first call for papers for the new Journal of Technology and Chinese Language Teaching (JTCLT), a peer-reviewed publication (both online and in hard copy) in companion to the successful international conference series on Technology and Chinese Language Teaching (TCLT, www.tclt.us) since 2000.

JTCLT has been registered with the U.S. ISSN Center administered by the Library of Congress, USA. Its ISSN number is 1949-260X.

JTCLT will be published twice a year online at http://www.tclt.us/journal, and published once a year on paper by China Social Sciences Press(中国社会科学出版社, http://www.csspw.com.cn). The online version and the paper version of the journal may contain different contents.

Guidelines for manuscripts preparation and copyright

JTCLT will publish UNPUBLISHED (conference proceedings does not count as formal publication) articles and reviews on the issues related to technology and Chinese language learning and teaching, including qualitative and quantitative research articles and reviews of software applications, multimedia textbooks, and other (online) materials and resources. All manuscripts submitted will be reviewed by at least two reviewers, either from the editorial board or invited from outside for specific topics. Articles and book reviews are expected to follow JCLTA’s style sheet and guidelines (We thank JCLTA for permission to use its document), while reviews of software applications, etc. should follow CALICO’s software review guidelines. Please refer to the submission and manuscript preparation and JTCLT style sheet at http://www.tclt.us/journal/authors.php.

JTCLT authors hold the copyright for the articles published in the online version. China Social Sciences Press (中国社会科学出版社) owns the copyright of the articles published in the paper version.
