First, we have to remember Kevin Cleary, the acting JALT president, who passed away on January 14^th, 2014. He was always supportive of OLE and we still remember his warm welcome address to the 2^nd OLE SIG conference at Chukyo University in Nagoya in Oct. 2013. We hope the next president will also have a benevolent eye on OLE.

Due to a number of new classes and the start of a completely new course, most work at the coordinator’s office has been delayed. We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.

With the incredible delay of five months, we have finally come around to issuing this compendium. As most presentation dealt with research not otherwise available, a look at the presentations gathered here is still rewarding.

A brief look back on OLE at JALT 2013 at Portopia, Kobe

Considering that OLE had the room Sumire, on the second floor of the hotel and thus somewhat far from the main conference building, all for itself on the Saturday and Sunday, the presentations were fairly well attended, from a high of over 20 to a low of 3. There was also one on-the-spot break presentation by Oliver Rose, introducing his vocabulary softwares. In sum, there were 22 presentations by 26 presenters in the Spanish and German workshops, the French and the Multilingualism Forum, and the FL teaching in the 21^st Century panel.

This compendium gathers most presentations, but some have already appeared e.g. as papers in other places, so they could not be included here. In such a case, please contact the author(s) directly. We would like to thank the authors, who have made their presentations available for this homepage. We especially thank Ehime university for reserving this space. Please inform as many of your colleagues, friends, etc. of this resource as possible.

Your OLE SIG coordinator,
