Writing about web page http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/elt_archive

We're very grateful to Robert Phillipson for donating the tapes of interviews with ELT professionals he made in the course of researching the thesis which became Linguistic Imperialism (Oxford University Press, 1992). He handed these over to me at the BAAL (British Association of Applied Linguistics) conference in Aberdeen and we'll be both digitalizing them and requesting permission from some of the interviewees for their interviews to be made public and even put online.

Another welcome development at the BAAL conference - approval was given to transferring the records BAAL has kept relating to its own history to the Warwick ELT Archive, some time in the near future. These will complement the documents we already have relating to the early history of applied linguistics in the UK, particularly at Edinburgh.
