Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of
language study and are one-stop resources for students.
Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an
accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study
questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in
the same volume. The innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional'
structure is built around four sections - introduction,
development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained
stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these
sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge
gained.
Language and Media

newspapers covering events such as the Asian tsunami, speeches,
blogs, emails, advertizements and interview transcripts from
television talk shows including Oprah

Bell and Theo van Leeuwen

Written by two experienced teachers and authors, this accessible

language and linguistics.
