Our current journals in language education are full of long papers. A typical journal might have, at most, five major papers. Sometimes we have to write long papers, but much of the time, it's unnecessary: the papers often contain long introductions more suitable for doctoral dissertations or review ("state of the art") papers, apparently designed to...

How can one start to list all those things that made him so good a teacher and an author, and so special a person! There is so much that I want to say about Kostas Termentzoglou, yet I feel that there could be no eulogy worthy...
