The Italian Committee of the Association for Language Learning
has virtually collapsed, leaving only the former Chair, who
understandably cannot shoulder the committee's work alone.
Until volunteers are found who will continue the Committee's
work, Italian will cease to be represented in the national professional
association for language teaching.
Not only that, but the Italian language journal of the Association
"Tuttitalia" has been left without an editor. This refereed journal is
an important part of the Italian scene in the UK, and the work done in
creating and maintaining this journal and soliciting library subscriptions
should not be wasted.
The work does involve real commitment and a wide background in
Italian teaching and Italian studies, but it does not need to be onerous.
Anyone interested in enquiring about the possibility of becoming a
committee member, editor or joint editor, please contact Sheila James
