Abstract :
2012 has been a monumental year for 3L The Southeast Asian Journal of English Language Studies as the journal has had many firsts this year. For a start, we are now a quarterly journal with issues in March, June, September and December. We began with one issue in 1992 then moved to two issues in 2010, a good eighteen years later, and in 2012 we embarked on four issues. From a mere twelve odd articles per year we are now publishing about fifty odd articles today and this is indeed phenomenal.
