Note from the Journal Coordinator

Hello fellow RaPAL members This is our third and final edion for this year. Our next event will be our annual Editorial Group meeng on Saturday 3rd September at UCL Instute of Educaon, 20 Bedford Way, London WC1H. We have succeeded in aracng some new members to our editorial group this summer, including one of our founder members, Brian Street, so we are hoping for a lively and producve day planning our Journals for 2016-­‐17. Don’t forget, this group is not just for experienced editors. We also welcome anyone who would like to gain experience by teaming up with one of our regular editors, or if you have ideas about the kinds of things we could include or even about the presentaon and layout of the Journals.


We feel that this face-­‐to-­‐face meeng is important, so we provide travel expenses and lunch for everyone. The meeng will start at 11.00 a.m. and last unl about 3.00 p.m. and we hope to see as many people there as possible. If you are interested but would like to know more, please contact me on journal@rapal.org.uk for a chat at any me.


One final appeal – our next edion is due out in the autumn, but we would like to make a start on planning for it before our September meeng. Therefore, we are in need of two or three people to make up an eding team for Journal 90: Digital Literacies. Our first digital literacies tle came out in 2011 and there have been a great many changes since then. If you would like to see how we viewed this subject back then, issue 74 is available to read on our website Past Issues, with no need for passwords on this public archive.


We are always interested in knowing what you think about your Journal. There is a feedback secon on the website so that you can comment on anything you have read in this or previous edions. Follow the link to our comments space at the boom of the page, which needs the password that has been circulated with this edion.


‘News from the Sector’ is to help keep all of us up-­‐to-­‐date with developments. We would welcome details of anything that you know about in the field of literacies teaching and learning that is happening regionally or naonally. Send your messages to either journal@rapal.org.uk or to webweaver@rapal.org.uk and we look forward to hearing from you.


• Finally, as we go to press, we have the news of our exit from the European Union. Is this likely to have an impact on your work? Are you involved in projects currently receiving European funding that might be adversely affected, or do you think other sources of funding will be found? Might our exit from the EU have an impact on the lives or learning opportunies of the adults you teach? Let us have your comments and we will try to publish them in our next edion.


Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this latest edion of the RaPAL Journal. Best wishes Yvonne
