Language planning, in one way or another, is as old as human civilization. Every time that one polity  invaded  the  territory  of  another,  the  language  of  the  conqueror  was  imposed  on  the conquered. The Romans imposed their language across the civilized world as they  knew it. In the  21st  century,  the  practice  of  language  planning  has  become  increasingly  sophisticated. English, as the result of a series of fortuitous accidents has become the international language serving  many  activities.  At  the  same  time,  it  has  led  to  an  explosion  in  English  language teaching, an activity also not based on wise decisions or wise planning.
