:: Practical PerspectivesPractical Perspectives is the first in several changes in organisation to Folio. Over time this section will expose readers to a range of different material types for the classroom. The contributions to this section will be presented so that readers are able to try them out with their own students if appropriate. If you think others can benefit from your classroom materials, please send them to me.
In Research Perspectives the focus speaks for itself. Articles based on some form of research connected to materials development will be included in this section.
Publishing Perspectives is aimed at insights into the world of commercial publishing. There will be two regular columns in this section; one from Dorothy E Zemach, an editor with CUP; and the other from Chris Mares, a commercially published materials writer. However, articles from other authors will also be welcomed in this section, so please send them in.
:: Spotlight on a Materials Writer
This regular feature will contain a question and answer interview with a materials writer. I would appreciate your input on mat-erials writers you would like to see put in the hot seat.
The Review section will contain analysis and evaluation of materials sent to Folio for review. Carrie Steenburgh will be our regular reviewer, but, again, if you have a review of materials you would like published, please send it in. And publishers who want their books reviewed please send a copy to Carrie at Union County College, IIE, 12 West Jersey Street, Elizabeth, NJ, 07202, USA.
Individual Perspectives is the place where all the other articles focussing on an aspect of materials develop-ment not covered by the other sections will be housed.
If you would like to publish a research article in Folio, please email Folio's editor, Rod Bolitho for more information or to discuss ideas for your article.
