Abstract
This text is the lightly edited transcript of the last interview with John Trim before his death in early 2013. John Trim was a Director of CILT, the UK’s national Centre for Information on Language Teaching and Research, and was Director of the Modern Languages Projects of the Council of Europe for over a quarter of a century (from 1971 to 1997). In the interview, John reflects on his own history of shaping the direction of language teaching and learning in Britain and Europe (with a legacy lasting well into the twenty-first century via the Common European Framework of Reference, now used world-wide), and on the importance of the history of language learning and teaching for reflecting on current policy and practice. The full video-recording of the interview is available here: <http://www.warwick.ac.uk/elt_archive/resources/johntrim>.
