This issue contains the usual information about theses, new publications and confer-ences dealing with the use of pidgins, creoles and minority dialects in education. It also has an article about observations of one very successful program. But unfortunately, the number of reports about other on-going programs and other issues has reached an all time low.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary issue of the newsletter next year, I would like to make a special appeal for each subscriber to send in a report (any length will do) about their interests, about programs they’re involved in or about any other issues.

We’ll try to spruce up the format of the newsletter as well, so any photos or illustrations would be most welcome.

I’ll be back in Australia, so please send your contributions to:
