Abstract
This article traces the 75-year history of ELT Journal, using this as a means to cast light on trends in ELT over the same period and to acknowledge various sources of thought and practice. In the first part (1946–1971), the focus is on how the journal contributed to the establishment of a methodological orthodoxy which was relatively unaffected by academic applied linguistics but which drew sustenance, rather, from a tradition of theorized experience and practical linguistics dating back to pre-war times. In the second part (1971–1996), the focus is on tensions between this orthodoxy and newer ‘communicative’ ideas—still, though, with an emphasis on practical experience as well as academic insight, while the final phase (1996–2021) is viewed as being characterized, above all, by attempts to ‘decentre’ away from mainly UK-based expertise and towards an opening-up of professional discourse to previously neglected voices. Viewing the history of the journal in this manner reveals continuities as well as shifts in perception of how English should be defined, whose voices ‘count’ in the field, and of the value or otherwise of research and theory in relation to practical concerns.

ELT Journal的简史
摘要
本文追溯了《ELT杂志》的75年历史,以此为手段来揭示同一时期内ELT的趋势,并认可各种思想和实践来源。在第一部分(1946年至1971年)中,重点是该杂志如何促进方法学上的正统观念的建立,该方法学传统上相对不受学术应用语言学的影响,但是却从理论化经验和实用语言学约会的传统中汲取了养分。回到战前时代。在第二部分(1971–1996年)中,重点是这种正统思想与较新的“交流”思想之间的张力,尽管如此,但仍侧重于实践经验和学术见解,而最后阶段(1996-2021年)最重要的是,通过尝试“分散”主要来自英国的专业知识,向以前被忽视的声音开放专业话语。以这种方式查看期刊的历史揭示了连续性以及对如何定义英语,其声音在该领域的“重要性”以及与实践相关的研究和理论的价值或其他方面的认识的转变。
