Summary
The beginning of the research of the relationship between linguistic theory and language teaching can be traced back to the late of 19th century. Lamendella (1969) thought that it was a mistake to look to transformational grammar or any other theory of linguistic description to provide the theoretical basis for second language pedagogy.
