My name is Seyed Abdollah Shahrokni. I work in the exciting world of teaching and learning. I am currently the Open Publishing Platform Manager at Texas A&M University Libraries' OpenEd Division and the Managing Editor of TESL-EJ. I research computer-assisted language learning (CALL), second language socialization (SLS) in online social spaces, especially massively multiplayer online games (MMOG), and Task Engagement.
