In a very recent study, Dr R. Smith (2015) coined a new term: " The historiography of applied linguistics " (HAL). Not just a term but a consolidated field which has hitherto had many a guise depending on national traditions. The present article seeks to track down the origins and further development of HAL in order to (re)claim its due merit and presence in applied linguistic departments worldwide. If we are to demand high standards of quality in present-day education as far as foreign languages are concerned, then, an urge is felt to include HAL as part of the core syllabus in tertiary education. Only by doing this can teachers-to-be acquire a more solid theoretical and practical knowledge in order to lessen modern strains on the complex task of foreign language teaching and learning.
