Greetings,<\/p>\n
We are pleased to announce the publication of issue 10.4, our 40th issue of TESL-EJ. This issue addresses some interesting questions in attitudes in two of our main articles: “Tensions in the Language Learning Experiences and Beliefs of Chinese Teachers of English as a Foreign Language,” by Zhen Zeng & Elizabeth Murphy, and “The Impact of Content and Context on International Teaching Assistants’ Willingness to Communicate in the Language Classroom,” by Lily Compton. In addition, we offer “Literature in the Muslim World: A Bicultural Approach,” by Scott & Andrew Alkire. <\/p>\n
We are committed to the idea of a dialogue; if you have comments that you would like to share about any of our articles or reviews, please send them to any of our editors for potential publication in a future issue. <\/p>\n
As a reminder, we no longer add new issues to the http:\/\/writing.berkeley.edu\/TESL-EJ\/<\/a> site. Our main site is now http:\/\/tesl-ej.org<\/a>. Previous issues will remain at the Berkeley site so links to them will still work. <\/p>\n Finally, we’d like to remind you of our next special issue, which is scheduled for September 2007. There is still time to submit an article or review. <\/p>\n
