Dear IEP Community:

It is hard to believe that a new semester is upon us! We are excited to bring you another newsletter filled with valuable information and insights. Once again, the articles are varied, from using creative writing in the classroom to creating a faculty forum, with something for everyone.

We are fortunate to have such an active interest section. As evidenced by our community listserv, there’s always a great conversation going on! Please consider contributing to the newsletter—whether it be a summary of research, a practice-based article, or a preview or recap of your convention presentation—our community benefits from your sharing these ideas. See the call for submissions and submission guidelines at the end of the newsletter for more information.

We hope you enjoy this edition of our newsletter; look for the next by the end of the year.

Krista Bittenbender Royal is the special programs coordinator of the English Language Program at the University of South Florida.

Christina Quartararo is the assistant director of The Language Connection: the English Language Institute of St. John’s University.
