Abstract

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the NYS TESOL Journal! All journals have storied beginnings and ours is no exception. Over the past several years, we have worked to bring about a peer-reviewed publication for New York State TESOL—in addition to the existing publications—to share our practice, research and perspectives. We hope that in this first issue we have accomplished our mission – that of bringing thought-provoking and relevant studies on the education of English learners to readers in the state and beyond.
