NOTE FROM THE EDITORS

Margi Wald, SLW News Managing Editor

Welcome to the jam-packed, preconvention issue of SLW News.

We are pleased to include announcements, brief reports, and articles from different countries, contexts, and levels in this issue of the newsletter—and we hope that you will find them timely, thought-provoking, and useful to your work as SLW professionals.

In this edition of the newsletter, we say good-bye to Catherine Smith, who is stepping down as an associate editor. She has done an amazing job over the past few years soliciting and editing articles, and we thank her for her gracious service to the TESOL organization. If you wish to follow in Catherine’s footsteps as an associate editor, please email me for details.

Finally, we thank the authors themselves, who have worked with our editorial staff drafting and revising the manuscripts to ready them for publication. It is a joy to be in an Interest Section whose members so willingly share their ideas with the IS community. If you have ideas to share, please see the SLW News submission guidelines in this issue.
