Applied Linguistics Methods: A Reader presents the student with three contemporary approaches for investigating text, practices and contexts in which language-related problems are implicated. Divided into three parts, the reader focuses in turn on the different approaches, showing how each is relevant to addressing real world problems, including those relating to contemporary educational practices.

Part One introduces the reader to Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as an approach particularly well suited to the description of language and language-related problems in social contexts.

Part Two examines Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a means of uncovering the relationships between language use, power and ideology.

Part Three presents Ethnography (and linguistic ethnography) as a methodology for observing the use and significance of language in real-life events as they unfold.

The editors' general introduction introduces the student to the tools of SFL, CDA and ethnography and explains how the three approaches each offer distinct as well as, in some cases, complementary perspectives on language in use. Each part is made up of one classic theoretical reading, one cutting-edge theoretical reading, and three problem-oriented readings and includes an introduction, which provides synopses of the individual readings making the book highly usable on courses.

Applied Linguistics Methods: A Reader is key reading for advanced level undergraduates and postgraduates on Applied Linguistics, English Language, and TESOL/TEFL courses.

Industry Reviews

'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
