'This book distils into a single volume the rich traditions of Systemic Functional Linguistics, Critical Discourse Analysis and Ethnography to show how language analysis can be applied to a wide range of real-world issues. It offers graduate students and researchers a useful guide to help them navigate and appreciate the diverse, ever expanding and exciting landscape of Applied Linguistics.' -Peter Teo, National Institute of Education, Singapore

'Applied Linguistics Methods provides a rich resource of readings from key researchers and theorists in the discipline. It incorporates different theoretical orientations, methodological approaches and social domains, yet achieves an overall coherence through section introductions and the sequencing of chapters. Importantly, differences in theory or approach are presented as potentially complementary. The book will be of great value to post-graduate students in applied linguistics.' - Susan Hood, University of Technology, Sydney
