British Council support for research project

Writing about web page http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/research/collect/elt_archive/research_projects

We're very pleased that at the end of 2008 The British Council agreed to financially support our project proposal entitled An archive and a record of UK-funded ELT projects, 1950 onwards. This project,, which is to be led by Richard Smith and Shelagh Rixon, aims to systematically increase the stock of knowledge relating to UK-supported ELT projects undertaken in different parts of the world since the 1950s. We shall do this by building an archive of reports and other documents relating to UK-funded ELT projects and by constructing an inventory/chronology, and a bibliography, on this basis. The project will be completed by summer 2009.

Donation of Dunford Seminar reports by Rod Bolitho

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

Thanks to Rod Bolitho we now have an almost complete set of Dunford House seminar reports from 1978 to 1996. Now we're only missing the report from 1989 (if a seminar was actually held that year).  Thanks again, Rod!

We are hoping to start up work next year on some research tracking the history of ELT aid projects. If you were involved in such projects and have project reports you would like to donate to the Warwick ELT Archive, please let us know.

ELT films from Thessaloniki

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

On 17th July five boxes of ELT reel-to-reel films were transported to the Warwick ELT Archive, in the back of a lorry delivering tiles to Stoke. These films came from the British Council in Thessaloniki. Thanks to Carol Everhard of Thessaloniki for spotting that these films should be safeguarded (during the Council's move to new offices), and to Barbara Hewitt, Head of Research and Consultancy at the British Council  in Manchester for agreeing to sponsor their transportation.
