Abstract

Teaching different foreign languages and related literature has nearly started since establishing universities in Iran, but Linguistics Departments were developed nearly half a century ago. After a while, the syllabi were reviewed; new fields have been started, and a lot of works were published and thus the development of the studies happened. It is clear that due to the increase of the number of students (admission rate) and adding up the number of related works, reviewing and criticizing them could be useful. In this article, the ratio of the students in Linguistics and all foreign language studies to all other students was estimated. Then, the importance of reviewing the references in the fields of study was highlighted. Finally, some suggestions for a better academic development of Linguistics and foreign language studies will be mentioned.
