Welcome to our final issue for 1996. At the end of this very busy TLT year we are now able to invite readers with access to the internet to visit the new TLT World Wide Web Site. This site can be accessed at <http://langue.hyper.chubu.ac.jp/jalt/pub/tlt>. The site has been established and is being updated on a monthly basis by Scott Rule who we welcome as our new TLT WWW Site Editor. We warmly encourage all readers to bookmark this site and to take advantage of the "click and send" facility to contact the editors and production staff by e-mail. Scott has created a "comments" button on the index page that will be directly linked to his e-mail address. He is particularly keen to receive your feedback and suggestions as the site will be further developed over time. The TLT WWW Site has been designed both as a service to current readers and as a vehicle to attract new readers and members of JALT internationally. Papers and other contents are downloadable, and are indexed by year, issue and department. The provision of access to articles in digital form allows greater distance collaboration and thematic archiving. Visitors to the site who are not yet members of JALT will find TLT submission guidelines, contact information for TLT staff, tables of contents as well as articles and other information from the September 1996 issue onwards. There will also be information on how to join JALT in order to receive the complete TLT. We envisage that this site will help us to attract submissions from a larger, more varied body of educators, and that it will enable us to share our work with a more global audience. Scott is now working to establish links between our site and other relevant web sites. These links will further increase exposure to TLT and to JALT as a whole. Work is still continuing in other areas of TLT and we need to update readers on staff movements. We offer our most sincere thanks to Sanehira Masao who retires with this issue as Japanese Language Editor. Mr. Sanehira worked extremely hard to ensure that the coordination and organization of Japanese language text proceeded smoothly at all times. We will miss him and wish him well in the future. Eguchi Eiko will take over as Japanese Language Editor from January 1997. We congratulate Ms. Eguchi and look forward to working with her. Kinugawa Takao will begin work next month as Japanese Language Assistant Editor. Congratulations also to Mr. Kinugawa. On behalf of all TLT staff I wish readers a safe and happy Christmas
and New Year holiday.
