From Edwige:
After several months of hard work with a team of truly dedicated people, we are proud to unveil the first issue of the Foreign Language Technology Magazine (FLTmag), which can be found at http://fltmag.com/.
You may wonder why we decided to add this rather ambitious project to our (long) list of things to do. That would be a fair question. The field of language technology is booming and we have talented people doing amazing things all over the world. While we have excellent publishing venues in the CALICO and IALLT journals for example, we felt that there was a need for a more practice-oriented publication that would offer information about what language technologists and language centers at the K-20 level are up to these days. Conferences offer great opportunities to network and brainstorm, but for lack of funding, not all of us get a chance to be a part of this conversation. So, we thought of a magazine, something a bit more casual in its tone and practical in its content than its scholarly counterparts, while still rigorous in the quality of the information it offers.
Thank you for reading us. We’re looking forward to the conversations this magazine will bring about!
