At the meeting, JAOS also presented the new 3-volume, 600-page textbook set for its JAOS Certified Counselor Training Course, a joint project with ALC-Press that is planned to open to the public in June of 2007. In addition, it was announced that the FELCA office has requested all FELCA member organizations to adopt the EN 14804 Guidelines concerning ‘Standards for Overseas Language Studies in Europe’, which were presented last spring. Lastly, one new organization was admitted to JAOS’ office as a ‘special supporting member’. Another organization was also admitted as a regular member.
