报告提要：Educational Linguistics traces its beginnings to the 1960s and is integrally tied to the emergence of sociolinguistics in the United States, though there has been increasing uptake by educational scholars, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world. Educational Linguistics focuses on language learning and teaching, and more broadly, the role of language in learning and teaching; a scope and focus sometimes referred to as “language (in) education.”  It is a problem-oriented, research-based, and transdisciplinary field, drawing from linguistics and social science disciplines to address problems in educational policy and practice.  Six broad thematic areas speak to fundamental, common sense questions and concerns around language, teaching and learning that cut across the field.  Language acquisition (and socialization) and language teaching (and assessment) represent perhaps the most enduring core concerns, but because the field arose at a time of acute awareness of educational inequality and disadvantage for ethnic minority children in the US, Educational Linguistics has from its very beginnings also foregrounded concerns around language diversity (and inequality) and language policy (and its implementation in classrooms).  In recent decades, as the field – and the world – have become ever more globally oriented and connected through technologies of communication and fluid movements of people and their languages across borders, concerns around language ecology (and multimodality) and language identity (and minority language rights) have become ever more salient in the field.  This paper reviews critical concepts across these six thematic areas, highlighting key findings from empirical research.
