Reviews for Mapping Applied Linguistics: A Guide for Students and Practitioners

A good map just got better. The first edition of this book gave real coherence to the field of applied linguistics. Now we see the terrain even more clearly through a wealth of good examples. It's a map that truly facilitates exploration and discovery. James Paul Gee, Arizona State University, USA A hands-on approach to Applied Linguistics, which introduces all relevant areas of this field in a reader-friendly (and especially student-friendly) way. Using a multitude of current examples, covering different perspectives and theories in an unbiased way, this book is a must-read not only for students of Applied Linguistics, but also for practitioners. Susanne Niemeier, University of Koblenz, Germany This is an excellent introduction to Applied Linguistics. The fourteen chapters cover a wide range of topics from language myths to language pathology. The relevance of linguistic analysis to our understanding of contemporary society is expertly demonstrated through informed arguments and observations supported by evidence. Constant Leung, King's College London, UK
