I will not mention its name, but I hope as you read this, you are healthy, safe, and happy. Fifteen days into social distancing and it is quite the challenge. Just as many teachers switched almost immediately from face-to-face teaching to online teaching, many others who had been at jobs for years were laid off. I imagine it is a scary and disheartening time to say the least. But as we get through these next few weeks... maybe even months, hopefully there is a silver lining to all of this; I will let you figure out what that may be. For now, call your family, check on your neighbour, or maybe just sit back and eat some junk food for once (without that feeling of guilt, of course) . We will get through this.  \nAs for the first isue of the 46th volume, you are getting the practices and research of presenters from the 2019 TESL Ontario Conference. I had an overwhelming response from presenters sharing their insight—so much so that the Summer issue will also contain articles from the conference. Thank you to the presenters who have put in this immense effort. It is appreciated, and I think the readership is in fora treat this year.  \nIn this issue, Dana Di Pardo Léon-Henri considers the many needs of teachers and the ways in which they adapt to issues and strive for rewarding careers. Julia Williams describeshow corpus analysis with technology can develop students’vocabulary skills and autonomy. David Siefker, Ling Hu, and Nataliya Borkovska introduce Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model (1984) in a Business English program. What’s more, Rebecca Schmor discusses her experiences with her students,  \ntheir L1 usage in the classroom, and how plurilingualism practices benefit learners. Fernanda C. A.
