Introduction
Finally, it is ready to appear on the internet.
This, the second annual volume of the UPRT conference papers has been a long time coming. Numerous technical issues have plagued the editorial process, but we can now bring out the 2007 edition. It has a 2007 copyright notice, even though the official web edition has not seen the light of day before 2009.
But that will soon be forgotten. What will, we trust, not be is the work our colleagues from Croatia, England, Hungary, and the Ukraine have undertaken to share with you and us their current applied linguistic research interest and results.
This volume is made up by five parts. The studies presented in them evaluate programs, report from the teaching profession, scrutinize affective variables, investigate learning strategies and go in search of what a corpus can reveal: a healthy-enough mix for a publication that aims to represent what goes on in the field internationally.
We wish you good reading.
