Twelve listening passages that originally appeared on vinyl records
in this journal over twenty years ago are now available on the Internet,
courtesy of antimoon.com, a Web site about learning English for
students of ESL/EFL. Tomasz P. Szynalski and Michal Ryszard Wojcik,
the Webmasters at www.antimoon.com, have posted digitized audio
files of ten shaggy dog jokes that appeared in the October 1980
issue of English Teaching Forum and the "Going to California"
train story that appeared in the January 1990 issue. All the files
can be downloaded for free. Everyone at the Office of English Language
Programs sincerely appreciates the work of Tomasz and Michal, first,
for resurrecting these jokes and stories, and second, for their
willingness to make these materials available to English learners
and their teachers all over the world.

Volume 1, number 1 of the new Journal of English for Academic Purposes
was published last year with Liz Hamp-Lyons (Polytechnic University
of Hong Kong) and Ken Hyland (City University of Hong Kong) serving
as coeditors. The aim of this new journal is to disseminate information
and views so that teachers and researchers in EAP can keep current
with and contribute to developments in the field. JEAP will publish
articles, book reviews, conference reports, and academic exchanges
covering a wide range of linguistic and educational topics related
to EAP, including methodology, teacher education, assessment, needs
analysis, materials development, and the socio-politics of English
in academic uses and language planning.
