“…Although the research posture of the MLJ developed in the sophistication of published pieces, the Journal under Zeydel was once again dominated by the profession's direct response to the political crisis. WWII marked Zeydel's editorship in the content of articles (e.g., C. S. Parker's 1944 article "d'Hitler or de Hitler" and Nunn & Schweitzer's 1942 glossary of Spanish war terms), in remarks associating the teaching of FL with the war effort (Zeydel, 1940(Zeydel, , 1943, in advertisements for translators-censors in "Notes and News" (MLJ, 27, 1943, p. 286), in a plea for subscriptions to overcome "passivity and conservation" (1938, p. 59), and even in patriotic page fillers such as in Volume 27 (1943)-"Foreign Languages for Global War and Global Peace!"

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.
