Description
Summary:The Horwood Memorial Lecture honours a founding member of the Australian Federation of Modern Language Teachers Associations (AFMLTA), Keith Horwood. Keith was a member of the precursor to AFMLTA in Victoria, the Modern Language Teachers Association of Victoria (MLTAV), and, as David Ingram recalls in his history of the AFMLTA, was minuted in 1954 promoting a national body of languages teachers, and calling for a constitution to be developed for a national association. In 1962, the AFMLTA was finally formed, with Keith one of the founding members. I thank the Australian Research Council for funding us.
