A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE Nancy Elliott, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon, USA
Dear SPLIS Members, TESOL 2018 in Chicago provided a lot of great opportunities for networking, meeting new people, and getting fresh ideas. The SPLIS presentations had a lot of great things to offer; I especially enjoyed John Levis’ fascinating overview of the history of English pronunciation teaching. I'm looking forward to what next year's convention has in store. After TESOL 2019 in Atlanta, we plan to put out a special issue of the SPLIS newsletter featuring a survey of classroom materials. As an editor of the special issue, I want to encourage you to submit a review of some of the materials that you have used in the speaking, listening, and/or pronunciation classroom. Is there a textbook that you really love? Is there a new book you've been trying out? Are there two books you'd like to compare? Please take some time to write about it and submit your description or review of classroom textbooks or related classroom materials. The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2019. Here is a link to the submission guidelines: http://newsmanager.commpartners.com/tesolsplis/issues/2018-03-15/6.html Best wishes, Nancy Elliott SPLIS Member-at-Large & Editor of the Special Issue |
