2nd Call for papers > Background

Work carried out within SIHFLES, HSS, CIRSIL, APHELLE, SEHL and HoLLTnet deals, among other things, with history of the dissemination and teaching/learning of languages, and history of the policies associated with these, providing necessary and useful documentation in these relatively under-researched areas. At this conference, we propose to explore complementary areas, explicitly focusing on the history since 1945 of forms of research and theorization in the field of language education, and their evolution as research gradually became institutionalized (via the creation of specialized centres, journals, associations and
learned societies, university training courses, research teams, and so on).
