Talk:History of language learning and teaching

Why this redirect exists and what it should point to
"The history of language learning and teaching" is a name for the history of second-language education & study which has been adopted by academics publishing in that area over about the past decade or two: see eg. https://doi.org/10.1179/1759753614Z.00000000030. At present there's no dedicated page for this topic, just Language_education, so this page has been created as a redirect to that. When the topic does get its own separate page then History of language learning and teaching should (in my opinion) be the title, as it seems to be the most well-established term in English for it, and more precisely describes the topic than an older name like "history of applied linguistics".

The generally-accepted acronym for "history of language learning and teaching" is "HoLLT". A page also exists for that acronym: to avoid a double redirect it also points to Language_education for now. RW Dutton (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2023 (UTC)
