Abstract
Change is a constant, and this may be especially true in the field of education, and in language education in particular. The constancy, magnitude and rate of change all mitigate against a careful consideration of one set of major changes before the next is upon us. This lack of reflection may lead to change occurring, but change more of the 'history repeating itself kind', rather than innovative, positive and lasting change. Approaching the end of this period of history would seem to be an ideal time to stop and take stock of what we have learned about managing change in education, so that this knowledge and experience can be applied to language education in the future. This paper reviews studies of change in education and language education written in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, with a focus on the latter, in order to identify recurring themes which might enable us to derive guidelines for those who will inherit the present systems and be the new generation of managers of change in language education.
