學(xué)術(shù)英語雜志提供了一個傳播信息和觀點的論壇，使EAP的實踐者和研究人員能夠跟上其領(lǐng)域的最新發(fā)展，并為其持續(xù)更新做出貢獻(xiàn)。JEAP出版有關(guān)英語的語言、社會語言學(xué)和心理語言學(xué)描述的文章、書評、會議報告和學(xué)術(shù)交流，用于學(xué)術(shù)研究和學(xué)術(shù)交流。廣泛的語言、應(yīng)用語言和教育主題可以從學(xué)術(shù)英語的角度來處理;這些包括:課堂語言、教學(xué)方法、教師教育、語言評價、需求分析;材料開發(fā)與評價、語篇分析、EAP語境下的習(xí)得研究、各學(xué)術(shù)層次的研究寫作與演講、學(xué)術(shù)應(yīng)用中的英語社會政治學(xué)和語言規(guī)劃。同樣有趣的是對EAP研究人員重要主題的評論文章和研究綜述。沒有任何與EAP相關(guān)的有價值的話題超出了雜志的范圍。該雜志還對專業(yè)人士普遍感興趣的學(xué)術(shù)書籍進(jìn)行了評論。

The Journal of English for Academic Purposes provides a forum for the dissemination of information and views which enables practitioners of and researchers in EAP to keep current with developments in their field and to contribute to its continued updating. JEAP publishes articles, book reviews, conference reports, and academic exchanges concerning the linguistic, sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic description of English as it is used for the purposes of academic study and scholarly exchange. A wide range of linguistic, applied linguistic and educational topics may be treated from the perspective of English for academic purposes; these include: classroom language, teaching methodology, teacher education, assessment of language, needs analysis; materials development and evaluation, discourse analysis, acquisition studies in EAP contexts, research writing and speaking at all academic levels, the sociopolitics of English in academic uses and language planning.Also of interest are review essays and reviews of research on topics important to EAP researchers. No worthy topic relevant to EAP is beyond the scope of the journal. The journal also carries reviews of scholarly books on topics of general interest to the profession.
