ELT Archive and A. S. Hornby Educational Trust

A.S. Hornby and 50 years of the A.S. Hornby Educational Trust, facilitated by Roger Bowers (The chairman), 14.45-15.30, Saturday 16th April

Most of us have Oxford Advanced Learners' Dictionary, but some of us know who created it: Albert Sydney Hornby.

In this session, we explored his legacy through his contributions to teaching and learning English.

He set up a generous arrangement in order to improve the teaching and learning of English. His aim was to "have the money used for education, so that it would go back to the countries from which it comes."

There were scholars of A.S. Hornby Educational Trust in the session, and they became very succesful ELT professionals in the academia and publishing sector.

Another significant contribution of A.S. Hornby Educational Trust is to provide funding for The Warwick ELT Archive. So, if you wonder how ELT has changed and developed, please visit this webpage: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/research/collect/elt_archive. I already bookmarked it!
