Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive
textbooks, providing students and researchers with the support they
need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and
Applied Linguistics.Each book in the series guides readers through
three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major
themes within the discipline. Section A, Introduction, establishes
the key terms and concepts and extends readers' techniques of
analysis through practical application. Section B, Extension,
brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and
discusses their contribution to the field. Section C, Exploration,
builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting
thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material. This enables
readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and
encourages them to develop their own research responses. Throughout
the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and
deconstructed, with the reader's understanding strengthened by
tasks and follow-up questions. Research Methods for Applied
Language Studies: Provides an advanced introduction to quantitative
and qualitative research methods used in second and foreign
language learning, teaching and assessment Takes readers step by
step through the processes of research, from formulating research
questions to writing up a dissertation or report. Employs a wide
variety of carefully structured tasks and discussion points to
guide the reader through the key themes, frameworks and procedures
of applied language research, including ethnography, conversation
analysis and quasi-experimental designs. Engages students in
readings and tasks on articles from leading names in the field,
including Alison Mackey, Roy Lyster, Angela Creese, Junko Mori, Rod
Ellis and Diane Larsen-Freeman. Is supported by a Companion
Website, including data sets for practice and guides to writing a
proposal, making recordings, conducting interviews, producing
questionnaires and organising a dissertation. Written by
experienced teachers and researchers in the field, Research Methods
for Applied Language Studies is an essential resource for students
and researchers of Applied Linguistics.
This book gathers together 11 empirical-based studies of classroom
interaction carried out in different countries, including the USA,
England, Kenya, Sweden, and China. Along with a state-of-the-art
literature review, the chapters provide key insights and engagement
priorities that will prove relevant to a variety of learning and
teaching contexts.

Winner of the MLA Kenneth W. Mildenberger Prize 2005, this
monograph provides a model of the organisation of L2 classroom
interaction and a practical methodology for its analysis. The main
thesis is that there is a reflexive relationship between pedagogy
and interaction in the L2 classroom; this relationship is the
foundation of its context-free architecture. The book explains the
basic principles of Conversation Analysis and reviews the
literature on L2 classroom interaction; portrays the reflexive
relationship between the pedagogical focus of the interaction and
the organisation of turn-taking, sequence and repair; describes the
overall organisation of L2 classroom interaction and illustrates
the use of the analytical methodology; and, considers how
Conversation Analysis can contribute to the research agendas of
Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition.
An investigation of the developing discourses of English language
teachers in teaching and training, showing how teachers are shaped
by the discourses they participate in and how they shape these
discourses. By analysing professional development through
professional discourse the book sheds light on what teachers do and
why they do it.

Discussing digital technology in teaching and learning settings,
Video Enhanced Observation for Language Teaching explains how it
can be used to tag, analyze and evaluate talk and use it as the
basis for reflection and professional development. Guiding readers
through these processes, this book focusses on the Video Enhanced
Observation (VEO) system. Beginning with a discussion of how it was
designed and built by language teaching professionals, contributors
use VEO to illustrate the advantages and opportunities of digital
observation technologies for teachers, explaining its use and how
it can be adapted it to their own professional practice. With
detailed case studies tracing how teachers in many different
settings have used this system for recording, evaluating and
reflecting on lessons, this book provides clear research evidence
of the development of many education professionals from around the
world. Written by experts in applied linguistics, education and
educational technology, Video Enhanced Observation for Language
Teaching explains the principles and procedures involved with using
digital observation technologies in teaching, enabling other
professionals to integrate these technologies into their own
environment and practice.
How can you use the latest digital technology to create an
environment in which people can learn European languages while
performing a meaningful real-world task and experiencing the
cultural aspect of learning to cook European dishes? This book
explains how to do this from A to Z, covering how a real-world
digital environment for language learning was designed, built and
researched. The project makes language learning motivational and
fun by tapping into people's interest in both cooking and
technology - you can learn a language while cooking and interacting
with a speaking digital kitchen. The kitchens provide spoken
instructions in the foreign language on how to prepare European
cuisine. Digital sensors are inserted in or attached to all the
kitchen equipment and ingredients, so the digital kitchen detects
what learners are doing and gives them feedback. Learners are also
able to communicate with the kitchens and can ask for help via
photos and videos if they don't understand any foreign language
words. Based on two research grants, the book provides five
research studies showing the learning experiences of users in five
European countries. The book explains the principles and procedures
involved in the project, enabling others to design and implement a
real-world digital learning environment in the same way. It
includes numerous photographs of the system in use and evidence of
how and what 250 users actually learnt.

The volume provides a unique dual perspective on the evaluation of
spoken discourse in that it combines a detailed portrayal of the
design of a face-to-face speaking test with its actual
implementation in interactional terms. Using many empirical
extracts of interaction from authentic IELTS Speaking Tests, the
book illustrates how the interaction is organised in relation to
the institutional aim of ensuring valid assessment. The
relationship between individual features of the interaction and
grading criteria is examined in detail across a number of different
performance levels.
