This two-year networking project will examine the content, curriculum and pedagogic practices of what we call 'Anglophone Studies' or AS (including English language and linguistics, literatures in English, and Anglophone culture studies) as they support students in the current globalising social and economic context. In the first phase we will explore the issues in contemporary Indian Higher Education (HE) programmes; in the second stage, the situation in this regard in India will be considered comparatively with that in Britain. We expect the investigation to model and foster change amongst the AS academic community. Funding is sought to develop our network, drawing staff from centres in three universities in Delhi - English Department, Delhi University (DU); Modern Languages School, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) [both listed as 'centres of excellence' in the Arts and Humanities Research Mapping, India report, June 2010, Research Councils UK]; English Department, Jamia Milia University (JMU) -- and the English Department, The Open University (OU). This network will clarify the terms/remit of discussion, consider ways of expanding its membership to national scales, and identify areas for further investigation through a series of meetings and three workshops in India and Britain. In a broad way, we expect this project and the consequent future programme to: (1) lead to reconsideration of and, where necessary, reform of the AS curriculum and pedagogic practices in Indian and British HE; (2) clarify the relationship of HE AS to employment in India, and intervene in policy and practices pertinent to this; (3) similarly throw comparative light on this relationship in the UK; (4) understand the success of Indian graduates in the national and global (with the UK case in focus) employment marketplace; (5) provide information to employers in sectors anywhere who wish to be appraised of developments in this area; (6) and foster collaboration and research between Indian and British academics, policy-makers and industry. Thereby we expect to fill significant lacunae in the current research context while engaging with important social and academic trends. The workshops will involve Indian and British AS academics/researchers and education policy-makers, and representative employers outside academia, i.e. media and arts industries, firms providing/using Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services, publishing and education/training enterprises. Bodies and organizations representing different AS disciplines, government and education policy, and employers have been approached by the applicants and collaborators of this project already, and have been given assurances of participation. The first two workshops will take place in Delhi, focusing on 'Employer Expectations and Indian AS Graduates' first, and then on 'AS Curriculum, Pedagogy and the Market'; the third will be in London, on 'AS Programmes and Graduate Destinations in Britain and India: Comparative Perspectives'. The core group of organisers will also meet thrice as a planning committee before, between and after the workshops, to plan them and realise reports and published outcomes, to arrange publicity and dissemination, and to plan a follow-on research programme. Within the project period three reports will be prepared and circulated and a co-edited scholarly volume prepared for publication. A text-based, public-access project website will be used to profile events, place reports and provide a common forum for the network. By this project's end the applicants will have planned and started lobbying/applying for support for a large-scale (extending to the national level in India and Britain) programme involving original data-collection, research publications, and ongoing production of reports/analyses for HE policy/academic bodies and employer bodies.

这个为期两年的网络项目将研究我们所谓的“英语研究”或AS（包括英语语言和语言学，英语文学和英语文化研究）的内容，课程和教学实践，因为它们在当前全球化的社会和经济背景下支持学生。在第一阶段，我们将探讨当代印度高等教育（HE）计划的问题;在第二阶段，在这方面的情况在印度将被认为是比较与英国。我们希望调查模型和促进AS学术界之间的变化。寻求资金来发展我们的网络，吸引来自德里三所大学中心的工作人员-德里大学英语系（DU）;贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学现代语言学院（JNU）[两者都被列为艺术和人文科学研究地图中的“卓越中心”，印度报告，2010年6月，英国研究理事会]; Jamia Milia大学（JMU）英语系-该网络将澄清讨论的范围/职权范围，考虑如何将其成员扩大到国家规模，并通过在印度和英国举行的一系列会议和三次讲习班确定进一步调查的领域。从广义上讲，我们希望这个项目和随之而来的未来计划：（1）导致重新考虑，并在必要时，改革的AS课程和教学实践在印度和英国高等教育;（2）澄清高等教育AS的关系，就业在印度，并干预相关的政策和做法;（3）同样抛出这种关系在英国的比较光;（4）了解印度毕业生在国家和全球（以英国为重点）就业市场上的成功;（5）向任何希望评估该领域发展的部门的雇主提供信息;（6）促进印度和英国学者，政策制定者和行业之间的合作和研究。因此，我们希望填补当前研究背景下的重大空白，同时参与重要的社会和学术趋势。 研讨会将涉及印度和英国的AS学者/研究人员和教育政策制定者，以及学术界以外的代表性雇主，即媒体和艺术行业，提供/使用业务流程外包服务的公司，出版和教育/培训企业。该项目的申请人和合作者已经与代表不同AS学科、政府和教育政策的机构和组织以及雇主进行了接触，并得到了参与的保证。前两个研讨会将在德里举行，首先侧重于“雇主期望和印度AS毕业生”，然后是“AS课程，教学法和市场”;第三个研讨会将在伦敦举行，关于“英国和印度的AS课程和毕业生目的地：比较视角”。主办机构的核心小组亦会在工作坊举行之前、之间及之后举行三次会议，作为策划委员会，以策划工作坊、撰写报告及发表成果、安排宣传及推广工作，以及策划后续研究计划。在项目期间，将编写和分发三份报告，并编写一份共同编辑的学术卷本供出版。将利用一个公众可查阅的文本项目网站来介绍活动情况，提交报告，并为该网络提供一个共同论坛。到本项目结束时，申请人将计划并开始游说/申请对大规模（扩展到印度和英国的国家层面）计划的支持，该计划涉及原始数据收集，研究出版物，以及为高等教育政策/学术机构和雇主机构持续制作报告/分析。
