Abstract
There has been a multifarious discourse about the role of linguistics in the field of English language teaching and we find agreement as well as disagreement. After reviewing the literature it becomes clear that English language teaching has its root in the discipline as well as sub disciplines of linguistics. Indeed these are roots it has never entirely cut. The present paper intends to trace the influence of linguistics on English language teaching over the last six decades. The core aim of the paper is to bring to light the linear and nonlinear relationship that linguistics enjoys with English language teaching.
