The Linguaphone Institute London , founded in 1923, has always
had close links with acedemic world. Jacques Roston, founder of
the Institute and pioneer of the use of sound recordings in
home- study language learning, was advised by distinguished
scholars in the field of languages including Daniel Jones,
probably the best-known phonetician this century and author of
the definitive English Pronouncing Dictionary. In 1967
Linguaphone relationship with the acedemic world was formalised
with the appointment of an Acedemic Advisory Committee chaired
by the former provost of University College London, Ifor Evans(
Lord Evans of Hungershall), ahd including among the members AC
Gimson, Andre Martinet and Randolph Quirk.
During the 1970s and 1980s Linguaphone, in consultation with the
Committee, published a successful new series which forms the
basis of its current range of self- study courses in thirty
international languages. The range now has over eight hundred
courses and includes travel, business and children's
specialities.
