Google Scholar Offers Access To Academic Information
By Danny Sullivan, Editor November 18, 2004
Google has launched a new Google Scholar search service, providing the ability to search for scholarly literature located from across the web.
"The goal is to allow and enable users to search over scholarly content," said Anurag Acharya, a Google engineer leading the project.

In his note, David adds the following - which shows how this service can be put to work in a particular field (in this case teaching English in China):

This is great news for teachers who want to hone their skills. Google has a new service targeting academic papers. (News story below.) I used to search on the name of my subject plus "ESL" plus "summary", "conclusion" and other key words like "In this paper" to find academic papers. Now life is a little bit simpler.
Here are a few interesting titles I found on my first Google Scholar test drive searching on "China", "ESL" and "communicative approach":
* E-mailing to Improve EFL Learners' Reading and Writing Abilities: Taiwan Experience * An Investigation of College English Teaching in Four Universities in China * Enhancing Oral Skills: A Practical and Systematic Approach * English-as-a-foreign-language teacher-training programs: An overview * Yu-Gong Yi Shan: Exploring Some Possibilities of Designing Tomorrow's Foreign Language Textbook * What Influenced Teachers' Adoption of the Communicative Approach in China? * A New Perspective on the Goals of TEFL in China
