International Network for Educational Linguistics as a</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>Discipline (INFELAD)</FONT> </P><BR>
<P><FONT size=2>Dear All</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Would you be interested in joining an International Network
for Educational </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>Linguistics as a Discipline
(INFELAD)?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>You would probably ask:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>1) Why such a network?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>2) Would it be
necessary?</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>3) What would be its purposes?</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>4) What would be its distinctive contributions?</FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>5) How would it differ from some other similar
networks?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>These are indeed some of the questions which should be
explored further. </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>What are *your* own views on these
questions?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>It would be very encouraging if any of you could contribute
your ideas to </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>any aspect of this proposed network for
educational linguistics.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Those who are currently members of any of the following
applied linguistics </FONT><BR><FONT size=2>organizations would be
particularly welcome to contribute your thoughts </FONT><BR><FONT
size=2>though the discussion is very much open to all!</FONT> </P>
