Attention Mac Users

It has been brought to our attention that some Mac users, when printing issues of the newsletter, are encountering problems with dark areas or streaking on some printers (oddly, Canon copiers seem to be problematic, but HP products are working fine in our tests). We haven’t been able to pinpoint the problem exactly but are working with the graphic designer to try to solve it. In the meantime please feel free to contact us with your mailing address for a hard copy and/or your email for an alternate electronic copy. If you have had this problem and have any information to add to the puzzle, please let us know.

Suggestions Wanted!

We strive to publish CLEAR News articles that represent current topics in foreign language teaching, and we want to hear from you! If you have an idea for an article or would like to see a particular subject addressed, please let us know at clear@msu.edu. We will consider your idea for future issues of the newsletter.
