Hello CALL-ISers!

What a crazy few months this has been! From the abrupt transition to remote learning to the continued changes of fall school opening plans, CALL and online teaching has been of increasing importance to ESL/EFL teachers throughout the world.

This newsletter includes highlights that we feel will be of use to you as many continue remote teaching and learning this fall. New to this newsletter edition are submissions from authors who never met each other, but collaborated with each other online in order to write this article. These interactions symbolize what many of us are going through right now, where we are working and collaborating together from our respective places to get things done. We hope that this newsletter will provide new ideas and inspiration for continued teaching this fall.

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.

Suzanne and Larry
