Eric HAWKINS
Honorary ALA Committee Member

Eric Hawkins is in every sense the 'father' of Language Awareness, its setter of standards and source of inspiration.
His contribution to the LA movement was two-pronged. First, he laid its theoretical foundations, in such seminal works as Modern Languages in the Curriculum (1981) and Awareness of Language: An Introduction (1984). Second, he spelt out and exemplified the classroom implications of LA. In fact, we see in the second of these books (1984) theory and practice elaborated in parallel, the first half expounding the rationales, the second half illustrating their classroom implications.
The Association for Language Awareness first recognised Eric Hawkins's immeasurable contribution and commitment to LA in 2002, when The Association for Language Awareness (ALA) elected him its first and sole Honorary Life Member. Then, in 2004, it was decided to honour him further by designating the main keynote paper at the biennial conferences of the ALA The Eric Hawkins Lecture.

Carl JAMES

Honorary ALA Committee Member

Carl James was one of the original members of the Association for Language Awareness, and Chair of the Association from 2000 to 2006, after which he was elected as Honorary Member of the Association. Two years prior to the founding of the Association, together with Peter Garrett, he organised the 1989 BAAL Seminar on language awareness, at Bangor University, papers from which formed the basis for the book Language Awareness in the Classroom. His contributions to our Association will always be remembered.
