Stop Press! Hornby Trust grant to the ELT Archive

Writing about web page https://www.hornby-trust.org.uk/decentring-elt

The A.S. Hornby Educational Trust has awarded a grant of £12,000 to the ELT Archive for 20023/24. This is supporting further cataloguing of the collection, with a focus on books published in the 1980s, selective purchasing of materials, processing of donations and digitisation of some items, liaison with researchers in Europe and South and East Asia, oral history work, and initiation of a Friends of the ELT Archive network.

Previous recent grants from the Hornby Trust have enabled the bulk of the collection to be catalogued (see latest catalogue here). Work connected with the ELT Archive has increasingly been aligning with the Hornby Trust's 'Decentring ELT' initiative, with recently embarked-upon projects involving support for research into English language education history in Bangladesh, China and India, initiatives to incorporate history into teacher education, and histories of marginalized groups and practices, including work by women in TEFL generally.
