Description
Summary:Since 2005 the NSW English Teachers Association has honoured Ken through naming its state conference keynote address the 'Ken Watson Address', instituted as a tribute to his contribution to that Association. AATE's annual conference in 2020 was a joint conference with the International Federation for the Teaching of English. IFTE currently has a publication program with Routledge and the first book of that series, which canvasses international issues in the teaching of English, contains a dedication to the founders of IFTE, and among names like James Britton and Jim Squire are a number of important Australian English educators, one of whom is Ken Watson, whose role in the constitution of IFTE was a significant one. [...]this dedication to the international project of education was extended to L1 education in general.
