From the Incoming Editors: Continuing the Vision of Language Education Scholarship

Abstract

As incoming Editor-in-Chief, I am privileged to introduce this anniversary issue and the exemplary work it encompasses. Together with the incoming co-editors, Scott Grapin and Joan LaChance, we are grateful to Lubie Alatriste for her leadership and commitment to the progression and excellence of the NYSTESOL Journal.

In this anniversary issue, we are proud to showcase the contributing authors who provide a range of perspectives on topics that were showcased early in the journal’s history. Their contributions contextualize these issues from their foundations in early publications in the journal through today’s educational landscape and share thoughts on how these issues might be addressed in future language education. In addition to the regular categories of articles for the journal you will see a new focus on materials reviews. The journal welcomes Jasmin Cowin as associate editor of the new Technology Materials Review section. This is an exciting addition that will supplement our discussions around the use of technology for language learning, teaching, and assessment.
