The first 2018 issue of interaktiv is now online. (Find past issues here.)
This issue – which I believe is our biggest to date – is chock-full of stories written by your colleagues: No fewer than 12 pieces complement our regular columns. From an entertaining and educational feature about maintaining your second language to a comprehensive recap of ATA’s 58th Annual Conference, you’re going to enjoy this one.
So, without further ado, Happy Reading!
Mit besten Grüßen aus dem Rheinland

Wait! While I have your attention: I’m looking for regular interaktiv contributors and columnists. It’s not what you think! I’m not talking about a huge commitment. If you write a blog and would like to expand your readership. Contact me. If you’d be willing to interview a GLD member from time to time (once a year!) and prepare a short piece for the newsletter. Write me. Or if you have any other ideas. Reach out to me and let’s work together. With your help, we can continue to make interaktiv one of ATA’s best divisional newsletters!
