New Paper on Basic
"Towards a People's English: Back to BASIC in EIL" is a new attempt to make teachers see that an answer, or the answer, to troubles in teaching EIL, English as an International Language, is Ogden's Basic English. The paper in the newest copy of Humanising Language Teaching gives a short history of Basic and what we may do with it.
Bill Templer, the writer of the paper, gives a short account, in it, of Mr. Katagiri and his friends, the Japanese groups working for a long time on Basic and teaching English using Richards-Gibson System.

Mr. Templer was the writer of a letter to a Thai newsletter, which I made a note on in Semptember:
