Review Network 

December 2023

Once contributors’ texts have been developed between co-editors and writers, they will be passed on to the Review Network for feedback. The Review Network consists of Learner Development SIG members who are both interested in learner development issues in second language education and experienced in providing constructive and supportive feedback to writers. In addition to a core group of individuals, reviewers from outside the SIG may be invited to join the Review Network for a particular issue of the journal. Membership of the Review Network will change periodically as new people become involved in providing feedback to writers.
