Hello CALL-ISers!
What a long unusual year the last year has been!
As we're still benefiting from the flood of articles from the last year, this newsletter includes articles from a wide variety of people on a wider variety of topics. Sezgi Acar, a recent MA in TESOL graduate from UAB, asks, “What Does Mango Languages Offer to Language Learners? Ilka Kostka and Catherine Showalter from Northeastern University explain what is necessary for “Preparing Students For Video Communication in Academic Settings.” And finally we have an article from David Winans, a doctoral student at Arizona State University, offering “Practical Solutions For Building Community In Online Language Classrooms.” Thanks to all our contributors. Finally, I would like to thank our newsletter editing team. Without the help of Suzanne Bardasz, Nathan Toister, Bashar Al-Hariri, and an Anonymous Team member, it wouldn’t have been possible to publish three newsletters in the last year.
If there is something that you would like to see in our newsletter, or if you’d like to join the newsletter team, please feel free to contact us.
