Founded in 1976, English Teaching & Learning is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2016. Editors of this journal held a seminar of ETL 40-year publication on the 23rd of April to look back to the past and welcome the next endeavor. Nearly 100 participants came to this event, such as graduate students, publishers, and scholars interested in this journal.
