Message From JCLTA Editor
Soliciting: a. letters from readers; b. book and software
reviewers
The Journal of the
Chinese Language Teachers Association (JCLTA) is
soliciting letters from readers
and volunteers to review books and software for the Journal.
You will be receiving
the February 2004 issue of the Journal very soon. A new "Letters from Readers" column
has been added to our journal! This was announced
in the October 2003 issue, but the announcement was buried near the bottom of
page 128, and apparently went unnoticed by most readers of the Journal. We had hoped to inaugurate this column with the
February 2004 issue, but we have not received any letters from you as of this
writing.
WE WELCOME COMMENTS FROM
READERS ON ARTICLES PUBLISHED RECENTLY (i.e. in the last couple of issues), and
thereby provide a forum for discussion of topics covered in the published
articles. Readers who wish to comment on
articles or reviews published in JCLTA should email letters - written in either
Chinese or English - to the Editor (Vivian Ling: vivianling12@yahoo.com).
Your letters will also
be shared with original authors, who will have the opportunity to respond in
the same issue of the Journal. Letters
from readers received by April 1 will be published in the May 2004 issue.
Secondly, our new Review
Editor of JCTLA Michael E. Everson is building a database of qualified
professionals who wish to review books, software, and other materials for the
Journal. If you are interested, please
send a short curriculum vita (email attachment preferred, though regular mail
is ok) accompanied by a paragraph stating the types of materials you feel most qualified
to review to:
