From 1946, let us fast-forward 35 years, to 1981. A key event in ELT Journal’s development was its reconfiguration that year, to reflect the growth of our field and the increasing range of insights from relatively new academic disciplines such as applied linguistics, sociology, and psychology. In his editorial (issue 36/1), incoming editor Richard Rossner (1981) reflected upon the increasing diversity of the profession and the range of contexts in which English was taught, and emphasized that it is not ‘good for the profession if individuals see themselves as mainly concerned with “theory” or only involved in “practice”’.

Getting to grips with noun groups./ Jill Musgrave, Jean Parkinson // ELT journal. 2014, Vol. 68, No. 2.

Extended noun phrases are a feature of academic prose. An analysis of noun phrases in the writing of international students on an EAP course in New Zealand showed that their use of noun modifiers was atypical of academic writing in general. One example is that nouns as noun pre-modifiers were used relatively infrequently. Our purpose in this article is to present an approach to task development that can usefully guide teachers in developing their own complex noun phrase tasks. Our exemplar task aims to increase learners’ understanding and use of noun-noun phrases with repeated application to many different academic texts throughout a programme of study.
