La DLE: de hoy para mañana

5 1 Me refiero a la obra D hier a aujourd hui la didactique generale des langues etrangeres. Du structuralisme au fonctionnalisme editado por Cle International en Paris. ABSTRACT: Given the outstanding position that foreign language teaching, foreign language teachers, and foreign language teacher educators have at present under a European perspective, it seemed to me more appropriate to explore several key areas and their interactions rather than focus this paper on a single topic. Many experienced members of the FL profession will concur that the past 25 or more years have seen a fragmentation of research based on individual researchers’ agendas, rather than a broad-based, collective one. The overall goal of my contribution to the first issue of Porta Linguarum is to analyse key trends in the midand late1990s as well as the forthcoming perspectives in both the various teaching situations and research grounds.
