VAUGHAN JAMES

[John Langran]

Dear Colleagues
For those who have been teaching Russian long enough to know him, I am sorry to have to report the death of C Vaughan James who died at home on Friday July 17th. He had not been well for some time. There has been a private family cremation and there will be a celebration of his life at 12 noon on Monday July 27th in the church of St Mary the Virgin at Kirtlington near Oxford. Vaughan taught Russian in schools in the 1950s and was the prime mover in setting up the UK Association of Teachers of Russian. He later taught at Sussex University, was editor of the Pergamon Russian series, was Deputy Director of CILT, and was active in MAPRYAL. Vaughan was an inspirational teacher and advocate for the teaching of Russian, with a wonderful sense of humour, and will be greatly missed by friends and former colleagues.
