Wikipedia description:
Henry George Widdowson (born 28 May 1935, in Leicester, England) is an applied linguist, internationally well known for his ideas about discourse and the nature of communication in relation to a wide range of areas of English study, including literary stylistics, critical discourse analysis, and English language education. He is an Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of London, an Honorary Professor of English Linguistics at the University of Vienna. In the early 1990s, he collaborated with Barbara Seidlhofer in initiating enquiry into the description of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), and its significance as a global means of communication both for disciplinary study of language and for the pedagogy of its teaching. In 2015, he received the British Council's Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his research and his wider involvement in the English Language Teaching (ELT) community.
