Duncan Hunter – PhD thesis successfully 'defended'!

Congratulations to Duncan Hunter, who passed his viva for the award of PhD today, defending his thesis on the development of keywords in the early communicative movement in ELT, based on a corpus analysis of articles from ELT Journal (Title of thesis: 'Communicative Language Teaching and the ELT Journal: a Corpus-Based Approach to the History of a Discourse'). As a Postgraduate Research Fellow in the Centre for Applied Linguistics (formerly, Centre for English Language Teacher Education) from 2005 to 2008, Duncan was responsible for many enhancements of the Warwick ELT Archive, including setting up the 'Hall of Fame' pages on the website.

Thanks also to Chris Kennedy and Sue Wharton, the examiners of the thesis, which we hope to link to from the Archive website when minor corrections have been completed!
