Dear Readers,<\/p>\n
With this issue, we close out our second volume. Submissions are up, name recognition is high, and there’s more work than ever! I guess that means we are a success.<\/p>\n
We haven’t implemented too many changes this issue. However, with the beginning of Number Three, now seems like a good time to begin thinking about new (ad)ventures. With the growing popularity *of* the Web, and the increasing possibilities *on* the Web, we will be looking for ways to use more fully its interactive capabilities: more links, more ways to access our large store of information, more images, more sounds…. in a word, more.<\/p>\n
In addition, we’ll be considering new design elements–there’s nothing wrong with the old design of course, but again, graphics programs and delivery afford us greater creativity and useful ways of presenting information.<\/p>\n
We will also be looking for ways to include different genres of academic text: more opportunities for response to our articles and reviews (see this issue’s Forum, guest-edited by Suzanne Irujo, for a preview), excerpts from rich discussions from relevant discussion lists, MOO transcripts…the possibilities become almost endless.<\/p>\n
Of course, you can continue to look to us for solid information and research about teaching and learning English as a Second Language, both in our academic articles and in our reviews. We will soon feature an issue that is guest-edited by Larry Selinker of Birkbeck College, London. This issue will look seriously at the claims made by CALL and investigate and discuss those claims in a way that steps back from the bells and whistles and considers the content and its delivery.<\/p>\n
With upcoming changes, we welcome your comments more than ever. If you can serve as a reviewer, if you have software or books to be reviewed, if you have a “paper” to submit, or if you just have a comment or suggestion, we welcome them all.<\/p>\n
Finally, and very importantly, because the Violet server at Berkeley is going to retire soon, we have moved the Berkeley site to another machine. [-1-] You can now (and we hope for a very long time) find us at:<\/p>\n
