Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguistics consists of
introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied
Linguistics, designed for those entering postgraduate studies and
language professionals returning to academic study. The books take
an innovative "practice to theory" approach, with a ?back to front?
structure which takes the reader from real life problems and issues
in the field, then enters into a discussion of intervention and how
to engage with these concerns. The final section concludes by tying
the practical issues to theoretical foundations. Additional
features include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms,
and an annotated further reading section.
This book looks particularly at the relationship between
language, interaction and learning. Providing a comprehensive
account of current perspectives on classroom discourse, the book
aims to promote a fuller understanding of interaction, regarded as
being central to effective teaching and introduces the concept of
classroom interactional competence (CIC).
The case is made in this book for a need not only to describe
classroom discourse, but to ensure that teachers and learners
develop the kind of interactional competence which will result in
more engaged, dynamic classrooms where learners are actively
involved in the learning process. This approach makes an invaluable
resource for language teachers, as well as students of language and
education, and language acquisition within the field of applied
linguistics.
