Good news!
TESOL Quarterly and TESOL Journal will be restored to their full page counts beginning with the Autumn 2002 issues. (The Summer issue of TQ, now on press, will still have a reduced page count.) The temporary page reductions in both publications helped TESOL with contingency budgeting in response to revenue shortfalls and the economic effects of September 11, 2001. The association appreciates the patience and understanding of its loyal subscribers.
Note from Phillip Markley, Past Chair: Thanks for making your voices heard. We have our publications back again!

How might the field evolve within the near future?
