Language Issues April 2008
The new, part peer-reviewed Language Issues journal has been launched. We postponed the summer launch so that the editorial team and NATECLA management council could spend more time ensuring that the approach and design of the journal are appropriate for the twenty first century. The new co-editors are Rakesh Bhanot and Eva Illes.
Language Issues has become the forum for ESOL professionals to share experience and ideas. It explores the area between academic research and classroom practice, discussing effective teaching, training and management of ESOL.
Language issues now looks at broader issues and bigger ideas including language teaching and learning with children and young people as well as adults, the theory of language teaching and how students are motivated.
Articles in this edition include:
- Theory, practice and professional identity
- Trauma and learning
- Forced migrants' success with English
- Interview with Mario Rinvolucri
- Language Focus
- Reviews
