Series Details:

Edited by: Peter Stockwell, University of Nottingham, UK; Series Consultant: Ronald Carter, University of Nottingham, UK

Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of English language study and are one-stop resources for students.

Assuming no prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses, commentaries and key readings - all in the same volume.

The innovative and flexible 'two-way' structure is built around four sections - introduction, development, exploration and extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to build gradually on the knowledge gained.

Each book in the series has a companion website with extra resources for teachers, lecturers and students.
