"If you have business English students or are interested in the stock market, come to schMOOze U. (schmooze.hunter.cuny.edu 8888) to look at STAN. STAN is the interface for schMOOze's stock market simulation. This simulation uses time delayed quotes of real stocks, bonds and mutual funds from the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Not only can stocks be bought and sold, but company information, fundamental data, a detailed portfolio and broker recommendations are available." - Julie Falsetti

New Interchange site. Elementary level activities, mostly for business English students; at http://www.cup.cam.ac.uk/elt/interchange/index.html

From a commercial posting 15 Apr 1999 on calico-l regarding Syracuse Language's Business English. "There are three volumes, with three CD-ROMs in each volume. Features include video role-playing, culture tips, record-playback, speech recognition, a 50,000-word dictionary and more. We also offer courses (from our division called Language Connect Institute) built around this software so the student interacts with a teacher. Courses can be either from a distance or onsite. More information can be found at our website, or you can buy the software online at: http://www.languageconnect.com."
