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 a glossary of
key terms, and discussion questions. Following the back-to-front
approach of the series, the book takes problematic issues in
language pedagogy as its starting points. These are then examined
in terms of second language acquisition. Each chapter begins with a
look at the pedagogical proposals found in teacher guides and then
asks 'Do these proposals accord with what we know about how
languages are acquired?' Pedagogical topics covered include
teaching methods, syllabus design, explicit instruction,
comprehension versus production-based instruction, task-based
instruction, authentic materials, the role of the learners' first
language in the classroom, error correction and catering for
individual differences. Including a glossary of key terms and
questions for discussion at the end of each chapter, and assuming
no prior knowledge of second language acquisition, this is the
ideal text for all students studying language teaching methods,
language teacher education, English teaching methodology and second
language acquisition modules in advanced undergraduate and
postgraduate/graduate TESOL and Applied Linguistics courses.
