The sixteenth-century Huguenot émigré Jacques Bellot played a seminal
role in the history of English and French language tuition, and is
remembered for composing some of the first descriptive grammars for
learners of both languages. His methods remained in use throughout the
seventeenth century after being incorporated into the often-reprinted Grammaire angloise (1625).
He devoted himself to the teaching of English to the immigrant French community in London as well as teaching French to the native population.
