EL.LE is the quarterly journal of the Centre for Research on Language Teaching of the Department of Linguistics and Comparative Cultural Studies of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. It is included in Fascia A of scientific journals. The Journal deals with the various aspects of linguistic education, i.e. teaching of the mother tongue/national language, second and foreign languages, the classical and ethnic ones, as well as the role of languages in the teaching of all disciplines. Furthermore, it pertains to the linguistic aspects of literary teaching, as well as to communication between people from different cultures who use a pivot language or the interlocutors’ one.Each number usually has an ‘editorial’, which is the leading article that describes the structuring of the Centre for Research; some essays are of a theoretical nature and others are more operational, since educational linguistics is a theoretical-practical science; finally, EL.LE offers various types of documentation: institutions, bibliographies, reviews, etc.

abstract
ANILS, the Italian association of teachers of non-native languages, was created in 1947, and for 75 years has been active in: (a) defining the role of foreign and second languages in the Italian school system, while it moved from the Fascist ban on foreign language teaching towards the demand for languages in multilingual Europe, in globalised economies, in the years of migrations from developing countries to Europe; (b) training language teachers, mediating between educational linguistics research in the world and its implementation in the context of the Italian school system; (c) providing on-the-field information and data to educational linguists, both through its journal, Scuola e Lingue Moderne, and through the action of academics who collaborate with ANILS. This issue of EL.LE deals with the three issues above, avoiding the celebration of the 75th birthday of ANILS and focusing its role in joining research and practice.
