The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics serves as an
introduction and reference point to key areas in the field of
applied linguistics.
The five sections of the volume encompass a wide range of topics
from a variety of perspectives:
- applied linguistics in action
- language learning, language education
- language, culture and identity
- perspectives on language in use
- descriptions of language for applied linguistics.
The forty-seven chapters connect knowledge about language to
decision-making in the real world. The volume as a whole highlights
the role of applied linguistics, which is to make insights drawn
from language study relevant to such decision-making.
The chapters are written by specialists from around the world.
Each one provides an overview of the history of the topic, the main
current issues and possible future trajectory. Where appropriate,
authors discuss the impact and use of new technology in the area.
Suggestions for further reading are provided with every chapter.
The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics is an essential
purchase for postgraduate students of applied linguistics.
