We are all devastated here with the loss of our beloved teacher Maria Antonieta Alba Celani who has left us yesterday. Teacher Celani was the pioneer of Applied Linguistics in Brasil and dedicated her life to promote the improvement of English Language Teaching in our country. Besides to create programs for public education teachers of english, she is the author of several books in the field. She has also been the tutor of several mastering, doctoring and post doctoring students along all these years of work. Although she has physically left us, she will be forever an inspiration for all of us, specially language teachers who were immensely benefited with her work. May our teacher rest in peace and receive our thoughts of gratitude and love.
