into the Second Language We lead off this issue with the article that won our 1999 `Best Paper by a Graduate Student' competition: `Technophilia vs. technophobia: A preliminary look at why second language teachers do or do not use technology in their classrooms' by Yvonne Lam. Yvonne is a PhD student in Hispanic linguistics at the University of Toronto. In this paper, she focuses on second language teachers' attitudes and beliefs about using technology in their teaching. The paper includes an excellent review of studies in this area and a case study of the views of 10 L2 teachers on the usefulness of technology in their classrooms. Once again, we wish to acknowledge with thanks the judges of this year's competition: Walter Cichocki and Patsy Duff from our editorial team adjudicated the submissions and provided feedback to the graduate student authors. This issue includes a call for submissions to our contest for the current (19992000) year, and we encourage all readers to publicize the competition widely. In this issue you will also find a response by Ronald Sheen to an article by Hossein Nassaji (`Towards integrating form-focused instruction in the second language classroom: Some pedagogical possibilities') that appeared in the March 1999 issue of CMLR. Sheen's piece and Nassaji's reply contribute to the debate on the role of explicit grammar teaching in the communicative L2 classroom.

Cette année à nouveau, nous désirons exprimer toute notre reconnaissance aux deux membres de notre équipe de rédaction, Walter Cichocki et Patsy Duff, qui se sont chargés, en tant que juges, d'évaluer les manuscrits soumis dans le cadre de ce concours et de fournir des commentaires et suggestions aux étudiants qui ont soumis un article. Ce numéro comprend une demande d'articles pour notre concours de l'année en cours (19992000) et nous encourageons tous nos lecteurs à diffuser autant que possible cette demande auprès des étudiants. Dans ce numéro, vous trouverez en outre la réaction de Ronald Sheen à un article de Hossein Nassaji (« Towards integrating form-focused instruction in the second language classroom: Some pedagogical possibilities ») du numéro de mars 1999 de la RCLV. Nous croyons que cet article de Sheen, accompagné d'une réponse de Nassaji, fera avancer le débat sur le rôle de l'enseignement explicite de la grammaire dans l'enseignement de la langue seconde au moyen de l'approche communicative.
