PAAL Newsletter Spring 2005
Dear PAAL members,
Since the beginning of March, the weather in Far East Asia has been milder and it looks like spring is just around the corner. Soon, we will be enjoying cherry blossoms, magnolias, and other flowers in full bloom. We are very pleased to inform you that our first e-newsletter has just been published and that it carries productive activities of our members. Several of them have moved to new positions and to new universities. The last several months seem to have been active and productive for all of us. The PAAL Japan has been especially busy organizing our 10th anniversary conference to be held from Aug. 2nd through 4th this year in the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK. We believe many of you have already made your travel plans to Edinburgh. We were told that the period we will be holding the conference is the best time of the year in Edinburgh. We hope this year’s conference will be another successful, joyful and rewarding one in which many of you can take part and share information, ideas and knowledge regarding ELT, and meet other professional colleagues and scholars. In order to be a resourceful teacher, we need to refine and present our ideas in front of many expert teachers and scholars as often as possible. We wish you a good luck with your research. We always appreciate your concern and interest in working together for the continued development of PAAL. We sincerely hope that you have a productive semester and we will be able to see many of you at the 2005 PAAL Conference.
Best wishes,
Michiko Nakano, Ph. D. / Kyung-JaPark, Ph. D.
