At the end of 2008 we were granted £10,000 by The British Council for a project entitled An Archive and Record of UK-funded ELT Projects, 1950 Onwards. The project, led by Richard Smith and Shelagh Rixon, aimed to systematically increase the stock of knowledge relating to UK-supported ELT projects undertaken in different parts of the world since the 1950s. We did this by building an archive of reports and other documents and by constructing an inventory/chronology, and a bibliography, on this basis. The project was completed at the end of 2009.
- In 2005 we were granted £10,000 by the A.S. Hornby Educational Trust for a project entitled Enhancement of the Warwick ELT Archive, with a particular focus on the work of A.S. Hornby. Specific outcomes of this project, which was coordinated by Richard Smith, included:A comprehensive bibliography of published writings by A.S. Hornby, including many works published in Japan; A unique and comprehensive collection of writings by A.S. Hornby; A secure collection of archival materials by or relating to A.S. Hornby; A collection of audio recordings by A.S. Hornby (gramophone records, tapes of lectures).
- In 2003 Richard Smith was awarded a University of Warwick Research Development Fund grant of £4,677 towards a project entitled English Language Teaching for Speakers of Other Languages, 1900-1980: A Comprehensive Bibliography, with Identification of Key Texts and Authors. Version 1 of this bibliography is available here as an Acrobat file.
