This book provides one perspective on how Applied Linguistics has
been defined and how the field of Applied Linguistics has developed
over the last 30 years. The author addresses themes like why formal
linguistic theories lost so much ground and how the interest in
more socially oriented approaches grew? He also addresses the
impact of Applied Linguistics on language teaching. Adopting a
theme-based approach, the structure of this book is largely defined
by the topics covered in interviews with 40 leading international
figures selected by the author including Rod Ellis, Diane
Larsen-Freeman, Susan Gass, Henry Widdowson, Suresh Canagarajah and
Claire Kramsch. These data are supplemented by questionnaires from
a further fifty applied linguists, also selected by the author.
This will be of interest to anyone studying or researching Applied
Linguistics and will also be relevant to those in the related area
of English Language Teaching.
