If we want to understand where we are now, we need to consider where we have come from. This statement constitutes the strongest rationale for the study of history. It is relevant to any field of enquiry and it is certainly true of the field of second language acquisition (SLA). As Larsen-Freeman (2018) wrote in her own historical account of SLA ‘it is important to understand ideas at the time they originated’ (p. 56). I would add that it is also important to understand how the ideas that motivated a field of enquiry at one time evolved into and were sometimes replaced by ideas later on.

SLA 简史:我们从哪里来,我们要去哪里?

如果我们想了解我们现在在哪里,我们需要考虑我们来自哪里。这句话构成了研究历史的最有力的理由。它适用于任何研究领域,当然也适用于第二语言习得 (SLA) 领域。正如拉森-弗里曼 (Larsen-Freeman)(2018 年)在她自己对 SLA 的历史记录中所写的那样,“了解思想起源时的想法很重要”(第 56 页)。我还要补充一点,了解曾经激发研究领域的想法是如何演变成后来有时又被想法所取代的,这一点也很重要。
