There are many new sites springing up that serve the English language educator in Japan. Here is a sampling. Note: These are commercial sites, and as such, do not constitute an endorsement by JALT.

ELT NEWS <http://www.eltnews.com>

This site is billed as being "The Website for the ELT professional in Japan." It is sponsored by Tuttle and Company. It consists of four main pages, including an ELT NEWS page, an ELT JOBS page, an ELT BOOKS page (with books from many other publishers included on the page), and an IMPORT BOOKS page. The news page, updated daily, is handy for those interested in up-to-the-minute developments of the English teaching scene in Japan. Most stories carry links to further information. This site is definitely worth a visit for those interested in coming to Japan, as it is a good starting off point for discovering the culture of the ELT professional in Japan.

TOKYO CLASSIFIED <http://www.tokyoclassified.com/welcome.html>

This e-magazine bills itself as "a weekly freepaper and web site made for Tokyo's international community by Crisscross Incorporated." The intricate website has ads for teachers throughout the Tokyo area, as well as the regular assortment of regular classified ads, information for international people coming to live and work in Japan, and a comprehensive entertainment index.
