New Co-Editor for the Journal of Second Language Writing
“It is with great pleasure that I welcome Rosa Manchón as the new co-editor of the JSLW. Rosa is well known in the L2 writing community as a top notch scholar and meticulous and insightful researcher. In addition she brings a profound familiarity with L2, especially EFL, writing research in Europe and a great deal of editing experience.”
We are very pleased to join with Professor Leki in welcoming Professor Manchón to her role as co-editor of the Journal of Second Language Writing. We also wish Professor Tony Silva well and thank him sincerely for his (ongoing) contributions to the journal.
