This year, NYS TESOL Journal celebrates its 9th volume. This second issue in the volume is very much a continuation of the first issue which was published in February. We felt that with so many interesting submissions in 2021, and no planned call for submissions for this spring (due to technical difficulties and platform management), it would be only fair to include all of the reviewed pieces. As we have grown in scope and stature, our needs as a Journal have grown too. Parallel with expansion and the associated technical challenges, our long-standing in-house copy editor Ceil Goldman retired unexpectedly due to health issues in the fall. Ceil had been with the organization for a long time and her departure was a significant loss. I personally want to take a moment to acknowledge Ceil’s long service and her unwavering commitment to the institution, to the Journal and to excellence in editing and formatting. Her love and passion for language guided everything she did. She is sorely missed in the office, but she is doing well and we wish her a speedy recovery.
