Abstract

Dr. Victoria Tuzlukova, Dr. Saleh Al Busaidi, both with Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, and Dr. Christine Coombe, Dubai Men’s College, UAE, prepared a collection of papers on ESP and technology in the Sultanate of Oman with an emphasis on student skills’ development and enhancement. They approached us as their deliberate choice of where to publish the valuable manuscript. They recognized our visibility, our ideas of discovering and presenting the work done in this field. They particularly stressed the forthcoming project on ESP in Iran, as well as our previous issue on ESP and Language Learning Technologies http://espeap.junis.ni.ac.rs/index.php/espeap/issue/view/9. It came only natural we should join forces.

For a young and striving journal, as this one is, the issue we now present, is a most rewarding credit we have been trusted with so far.
