The Routledge Handbook of Language Awareness is a comprehensive and informative overview of the broad field of language awareness. It contains a collection of state-of-the-art reviews of both established themes and new directions, authored and edited by experts in the field. The handbook is divided into three sections and reflects the engaging diversity of language awareness perspectives on language teaching and teachers, language learning and learners, and extending to additional areas of importance that are less directly concerned with language instruction.

In their introductory chapter, the editors provide valuable background to the language awareness field along with their summary of the chapters and issues covered. A helpful section giving further reading suggestions for each of the chapters is included at the end of the book. This volume is essential reading for graduate students and researchers working in the sphere of language awareness within applied linguistics, sociolinguistics and across the wider spectrum of language and communication.

Reviews for Routledge Handbook of Language Awareness

"""This volume encapsulates all that is best about language awareness. It provides valuable perspectives on the history of the subject and each chapter brims with insights that carry the subject forward. Across so many areas of human activity the volume underlines the centrality of language awareness to our thinking, teaching, learning and social life, to the ways in which power and control are exercised and to our better understanding of the complex relationships between languages and cultures. This is an indispensable resource for students and researchers across many different disciplines."" Ronald Carter, Emeritus Professor, University of Nottingham, UK"
