Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics is a series of
introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied
Linguistics, primarily designed for those beginning postgraduate
studies, or taking an introductory MA course as well as advanced
undergraduates. Titles in the series are also ideal for language
professionals returning to academic study.
The books take an innovative 'practice to theory' approach, with
a 'back-to-front' structure. This leads the reader from real-world
problems and issues, through a discussion of intervention and how
to engage with these concerns, before finally relating these
practical issues to theoretical foundations. Additional features
include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an
annotated further reading section.
In this book Philip Seargeant surveys varieties of English
existing within the world today, and the debates and controversies
surrounding its present forms, functions and status in diverse
world contexts. It examines how English has evolved to become a
global language and looks at the political and cultural history
that has influenced this evolution.
Beginning with a discussion of real-life challenges relating to
world Englishes that are faced by language professionals
particularly in the contexts of language education and language
planning the book explores and illustrates the ways in which the
actual use and management of English, as well as the beliefs and
ideologies associated with it, play an increasingly important role
in contemporary globalized society.
