These intersections and their combinations offer countless professional opportunities for practising as well as prospective researchers in the field of linguistics and language technology. Effective researches in these areas require interdisciplinary expertise in linguistics and Information Technology (IT). However, in the context of developing countries, researchers face countless challenges regarding their competence and performance while conducting practical research. This paper seeks to understand the ground level realities of scholarly expectation from Language Technology (LT) researchers. The paper will provide an insight into their professional lives, previous academic qualification/experiences, and facilities they are provided with. Moreover, it will help in gauging a practical understanding for creating better and more realistic task force for effective researches.

However, its developments in the light of pedagogical practices in different times are seldom discussed. Thus, this paper intends to present a non-chronological practice based brief history of ELT which is important to understand how ELT has taken inspirations from different philosophical trends to evolve itself. It traces the effects of theoretical progress of ELT to help professionals formulate informed classroom practices. It talks about the native centered colonial upbringing of ELT, standardization of ELT through Western means and native favoring pedagogical reforms. The paper divides history of ELT into four periods: (i) the period of whims and traditions, (ii) the period of reforms, (iii) the period of pedagogical awareness and (iv) the period of pedagogical awakening. Also, it conceptualizes frameworks of ELT and presents individual accounts on the history of ELT practices in different periods.
