I like this publication very much.  I read all the issues and find them
useful and informative.  The last article I used actively was Robin
Schwarz' article on the struggling ESL learner.  We asked our new
teachers to read it prior to their New Teacher Training.  It was a great
article that generated a lot of discussion and hopefully raised the
level of awareness of these potential learner problems.  Keep up the
good work.

Subject: [FocusOnBasics 209] Using FOB / Editorial Board

Not a lot of folks (none...) jumping in to the discussion about the
evaluation of "Focus on Basics..."

The evaluation documented the many ways folks use the publication. Which
issue did you use most recently. How, and why?

Editor, FOB

(PS, thanks to those who have come forth for the next editorial board.
I'm still taking names and will get back to everyone at the end of the
week. Oklahoma, Michigan, Delaware, you've been underrepresented...Is
there anyone on the list who from those states interested in joining the
editorial board?)
