Abstract

This editorial for the 2024 issue of the BC TEAL Journal reiterates BC TEAL’s mission to raise awareness, provide professional development, and share expertise related to English as an additional language teaching and learning in British Columbia and the wider world. With a reminder of the journal’s commitment to open access, the most read articles from all issues of the journal during the past year are shared with readers. An overview of the current issue is then provided to highlight topics related to general English for academic purposes, service learning, digital literacy, learners with refugee experiences, online learning, and materials development. This overview is followed by an invitation to contribute to the journal with citations, submissions, and peer reviews.
