“…In addition to developing its research focus slowly, perhaps more as a function of demands and interests from the profession than as a directed attempt by the editor, the MLJ under Pfeffer became even more cosmopolitan. Articles appeared on Africa in the world language picture (Freeman, 1960), Soviet education (Turkevich, 1960), Italian (Russo, 1962), Portuguese literature (Moser, 1962), and the superimposition of a national language, Indonesian, onto a district language, Sundanese (Thomas & Surachmad, 1960). A short article on the Quijote appeared in Spanish (Palacín, 1962) and an article on French-German relations appeared in French (Bieber, 1960).…”

The MLJ, with its origin in 1916, was the first foreign language (FL) pedagogical journal in the United States to serve a variety of languages and teachers on both the secondary and postsecondary levels. This article traces the development of its editorial policy through examination of each editor’s policy statements and personal reflections and the contents of the Journal including articles, "News & Notes," and other columns, readers’ comments, and announcements used as page filler. The examination reveals the MLJ’s proactive role in helping to shape a unified, national FL teaching profession and in developing FL education and second language acquisiton (SLA) as scholarly disciplines anchored in empirical research, which has, especially in the past 2 decades, filled many MLJ pages. The history of reflections of the profession provided here offers insights into the development of the disciplines we know today and suggests possibilities for future editorial policy of the MLJ.
