Abstract
What follows started out as a somewhat hastily composed handout for a Masters course I was teaching in Hong Kong. I was seeking to help the students gain a sense of the history of Applied Linguistics (seen narrowly as the study of language teaching and learning), but it is now obvious that all I was able to do was tell my own personal story, of the development of my own thinking over more than forty years of serious involvement with language teaching and learning.
