From the editor:

Here is our second issue of the MEXTESOL Journal for 2012. For your reading we have six articles (four refereed articles and two non-refereed articles) from different authors throughout the world from countries such as the Philippines, Japan, Mexico, the United States and Iran. I am sure you will enjoy them as much as the three editors have enjoyed working with these authors.

The first article, 'Classroom Assessment Preferences of Japanese Language Teachers in the Philippines and English Language Teachers in Japan' is a comparative study of Japanese language teachers in the Philippines and English language teachers in Japan concerning the theme of classroom assessment preferences. This article is refereed and written by Richard Gonzales from the University of Santo Tomas Graduate School in Manila, Philippines and Jonathan Aliponga of Kansai University of International Studies in Hyogo, Japan.

From Mexico three authors (David Camps, Julio Villalobos and John Shea) have written the second article, 'Understanding EFL Students' Errors: An Insight towards Their interlanguage'. This article gives valuable insight as to how errors are seen in relationship to the students' interlanguage.

The refereed article 'Language Development in Latino Immigrant Children in the United States' by Sara Solórzano and Luciana C. de Oliveira from Purdue University explore the complex sociocultural and linguistic aspects of these children. A number of issues are addressed such as family relations and literacy of the home language in relation to the language development of these young learners and this article is of interest to educators on both sides.

Sima Khezrlou and Karim Sadeghi from Urmia University, Iran, have written the refereed article named 'Self-regulated Vocabulary Strategy Use: Implications for CALL and Individual Variables'. This is a comparative study of vocabulary strategies in texts taking into consideration variables such as L1 and L2, level, gender and age.

The refereed article 'Cooperative Learning in a Bilingual Middle School Classroom: The Challenges in the Classroom after Twelve Years of CL Implementation' by Jacobo Luna Cruz, Greensboro College, explores how cooperative learning has been incorporated in a private primary school in Veracruz and the reflections concerning its use.

Finally, Wanda I. Griffith and Hye-Yeon Lim (both from the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center) offer their expertise and advice on rubrics in the following non-refereed article, 'Performance-Based Assessment: Rubrics, Web 2.0 Tools and Language Competencies'.

Please remember that the MEXTESOL Journal is open year round for submission of articles. We will also have our 39th International MEXTESOL Convention in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco during October 18-21, 2012. This year's theme is Leading the Way to Excellence in ELT. We hope to see you there.
