The Routledge Applied Linguistics Reader is an essential
collection of readings for students of Applied Linguistics. Divided
into five sections: Language Teaching and Learning, Second Language
Acquisition, Applied Linguistics, Identity and Power and Language
Use in Professional Contexts, the Reader takes a broad
interpretation of the subject from its traditional foundations in
language teaching and learning to cover the newer subdisciplines
from corpus linguistics to forensic linguistics.
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the Reader focuses on the
topics and issues to which Applied Linguistics research has made a
significant contribution, in particular:
- our understanding of key concepts and notions in the study of
real-world problems in which language and communication play a
central role
- the theoretical debates of broader social science issues that
impact on language teaching, learning and use
- the main methodological advances.
Featuring twenty-seven carefully selected readings, the Reader
focuses on both the major contributions of Applied Linguistics, and
the conceptual and theoretical issues of the subject in a variety
of contexts and methods. The selection comprises seminal articles
from leading researchers, as well as fresh perspectives from new
voices in the subject. These readings are amplified by a general
introduction as well as detailed, critical summaries of each
section, discussion questions and recommended further reading for
each article.
