Many of you may not know much about the "pre-history" of IALLT, but some of us have had the good fortune to meet and even know the pioneers of this organization. Jackie Tanner reports that Joseph Sheehan, president of IALL from 1979-1980, and of the University of Houston, passed away this morning from bone cancer. He will be missed. (See http://iallt.org/about_iallt/history.html for a list of all past officers...) *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
