Craig Chaudron, 1946-2006
As some of you have heard, our friend and colleague Craig Chaudron died unexpectedly on August 21.
Craig contributed to Applied Linguistics journal in
many capacities. He served as the journal's North
American editor, as member of the Editorial Panel,
and most recently as the AAAL representative on
the Advisory Board. Despite his many responsibilities
at the University of Hawai'i and in the applied
linguistics community nationally and worldwide, he
generously reviewed manuscripts for Applied
Linguistics and consistently provided authors and
editors with insightful and detailed reports. Craig
was deeply committed to excellence in applied
linguistic scholarship and the journal benefited
substantially from his vast knowledge and
methodological rigor.
An obituary will be published in the December issue
of Applied Linguistics Journal.
