would be a good jumping off point for developing current entries and adding new ones (like educational linguistics).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

years back – and I think the LSA still is working on this, but of course it’s not likely to happen with the back-to-the-basics dogma driving school policy.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The idea of creating an Ed Linguistics page is great – and other related pages on Wikipedia. The theoretical linguistics pages on Wikipedia are
very well developed, but the education-related linguistics topics are not. For instance, the page on “Structured English Immersion” was clearly written by SEI zealots. There are lots of other examples of pages that need to be updated and corrected. I think
Wikipedia is the go-to source for lots of the general public. Not a bad idea to even assign Wikipedia editing as a course project/assignment to graduate students!</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
