Dear all,
As you will have seen from Steve's recent message, he is
about to take early retirement. As many of you know, he has
made an enormous contribution to AFLS over the years:
among other things, he has been a regular referee for the
CIULT books, a sparkling presenter of papers at AFLS
conferences and a quite outstanding Editor of the Cahiers
AFLS. The latter included the AFLS Research Guide and a
major editing job for Conference Abstracts (including the
mammoth volume for Quebec 2000). I'm sure all of us have
had our spirits lifted by his witty and beautifully crafted
Editorials and messages to afls-news. His article in the
'Year Abroad' volume (in the CIULT series) is one of the
most insightful and eloquent pieces I have ever read on
university language learning.
Steve, thanks for all this and more.
Aidan
