On behalf of the Editorial Board, it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the eleventh volume of the Annual Review of Education, Communication and Language Sciences (ARECLS).
This volume marks the Journal's 11th anniversary; publication of the first volume having commenced in 2004.

This year's volume includes six papers. These include: three research reports and three literature reviews.
We hope that you enjoy reading the content of this volume of the Annual Review of Education, Communication and Language Sciences (ARECLS), and we also wish to invite submissions for our future volumes.
