Editorial note

EDITORIAL NOTE The Department of English Language and Literature at Eszterházy Károly Teachers' Training College is pleased to present Volume II of the Eger Journal of English Studies. We would like to continue the practice of the first volume by publishing both papers of members of our own department and those of colleagues from other Hungarian and foreign institutions. Once more we have the honour of including studies from three established British scholars, who have not only visited our institution in order to give lectures to our students and staff, but have also shown readiness to publish some of the most recent results of their research in our volume. Ramesh Krishnamurthy, former corpus manager at COBUILD and present research fellow at two universities in the Midlands, offers us an insight both into the activity of researchers in the field of corpus/computational linguistics and into the world of the rapidly growing new forms of electronic learning aids on the Internet and CD-ROMs. Richard Cauldwell has already paid two visits to our institution and this time he has contributed a paper on the difficulties of listening comprehension and the solutions he suggests, which should be of interest for all teachers of English. Jan Smaczny, professor at the music department of The Queen's University of Belfast has not only delivered a fascinating series of lectures on various aspects of British music while visiting Eger in 1998, but has also written a very interesting study on the folk roots of British music for us. We are also pleased to have contributions from all the age groups in our department, ranging from some of the youngest colleagues to the retired, but still active, first head of the English department, Károly Szokolay. It would be desirable if future volumes could contain even more papers on the various fields of British culture. Linguistics has always been a strong side of our department, and further proof of this might be the present volume, but we would like to encourage both our colleagues and scholars from other Hungarian and British institutions of higher education to contribute more papers on British culture and also on the teaching of the English language in future. Our journal is published yearly. Manuscripts should be sent to the editor both on a disc and in a printed version. Though most authors might want to insist on the generally accepted format and way of citing in their own special field, they should ask us beforehand for the main guidelines concerning the structuring and referencing of studies in this journal. 7
