A New Step for Language Education in Asia

While we are extremely grateful to be part of such a generous pan-Asia and global network, LEiA’s editorial focus, beginning with this issue, is shifting more toward the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region, particularly Cambodia and the other developing countries within ASEAN. While we will continue to welcome articles from throughout Asia and professional input from around the world, our aim is to have the content of the journal increasingly reflect the ASEAN region’s interests and needs. Fortunately, the emergence of a larger, more sophisticated TESOL research community in Southeast Asia now makes this possible. It also allows us to better represent the ASEAN region in the changing makeup of our editorial team, which will gradually take place as new members based in the region come on board in forthcoming issues.
