Description
Applied Linguistics in Action: A Reader presents students with an applied linguistics framework for the analysis of real-world problems in language. This reader allows students to develop both theoretical and empirical skills crucial to practical language teaching and other professional practices. The book brings together seven key discussions on contemporary applied linguistics, relating theory and description of language in use to educational and professional contexts. It also includes thirteen abridged case studies demonstrating how general principles can be applied to specific real-world problems. The editors' introductions guide the student through the transition from general discussion to practical application. This reader is essential for advanced level undergraduates and postgraduates on Applied Linguistics, English Language, and TESOL/TEFL courses.
