Routledge Applied Linguistics Series

Series Editors: Christopher N. Candlin, Macquarie University, Australia and Ronald Carter, University of Nottingham, UK

Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive resource books, providing students and researchers with the support they need for advanced study of English applied linguistics and language.

Each book carefully guides the reader 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 responses.

Throughout the books, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and deconstructed, with the reader's understanding strengthened by tasks and follow-up questions.
