The basis of the
THRASS philosophy and methodology was initially conceived by Alan Davies, using
the International Phonetic Alphabet. A copy of the original work was lodged with
Stationers Hall Registry, London, England in 1989.
The first THRASS
phonographic charts and resources were published in England in 1992 and 1994. In
1995, Alan was joined in the venture by Denyse Ritchie and together they created
and designed the THRASS professional development courses and various THRASS
resources.
Since April
2005, the courses and resources have been developed and managed in territories.
In the THRASS (UK) territory (the blue territory on the
World Map), the courses are focused on the essential teaching guide TEACHING
THRASS (T-50). Reference: Davies, A. (2006) TEACHING THRASS. Publisher: THRASS
