Funded Activity Summary

The English Language: Meaning, History and Culture. The theory developed by the CI (and her colleague Cliff Goddard)contributes to Australia's prestige on the academic scene world-wide and attracts many graduate students to this country. This project should further strengthen its influence. Australia is a multicultural society, united (but also divided) by the English language. Educating Australians of all backgrounds about the cultural assumptions and values embedded in English is a matter of vital national and community interest. The outcome of this project will be an important resource for intercultural training in Australia and other English-speaking countries. The project will enhance Australia's capacity to interpret itself to the world.
