That is what has finally happened. This year, I am the half-time director of The Muriel Tomlinson Language Resource Center http://fmc.utm.edu/~rpeckham/lab.html My my actual supervisory time in the lab is dictated by a workload equivallency formula drawn up in an efficiency study. I do have some long hour on duty, but I have a student lab technology person (a freshman I recruited myself) student assistants, and every full-time member of our faculty has swapped out some office hours to be present in the lab, helping students. My chair works with me and believes a program which, though not revolutionary on a theoretical basis, is fairly daring. When we look for any new faculty from now on (and we will be looking for two), computer literacy and some experience with CALL will take precedence over over Lacanian loquacity and neo-Derridian nonsense. Yes, I will join IALL, when I get some of the prliminaries of my new job under my belt. I do like what I am doing now. I have a lot to learn from all of you, so I will try to be very attentive.
