Routledge Introductions to Applied Linguisticsconsists of introductory level textbooks covering the core topics in Applied Linguistics, designed for those entering postgraduate studies and language professionals returning to academic study. The books take an innovative "practice to theory" approach, with a #xE2;#xAC;#xDC;back to front#xE2;#xAC;" structure which takes the reader from real life problems and issues in the field, then enters into a discussion of intervention and how to engage with these concerns. The final section concludes by tying the practical issues to theoretical foundations. Additional features include tasks with commentaries, a glossary of key terms, and an annotated further reading section. Exploring English Language Teachingprovides a single volume introduction to the field of ELT from an applied linguistics perspective. The book guides readers through relevant questions and issues related to classroom language learning and teaching in ELT using the tasks and activities throughout the text to support this. Hall identifies various teaching practices, the reasons for using them, how to adopt them in the classroom and finally how applied linguistic theory underpins all of this. Exploring English Language Teachingis an indispensable textbook for language teachers, post-graduate/graduate students and advanced undergraduates studying in the areas of Applied Linguistics, Language Teacher Education, and ELT/TESOL.

Industry Reviews

'Exploring Corpus Linguistics is a useful practical introduction to central corpus linguistics concepts and applications, packed with summaries of intriguing case studies. I recommend the book to students of Applied Linguistics who, no doubt, will appreciate its hands-on style, numerous examples, and ideas for things to explore about language in use in a range of different contexts.'

Ute Roemer, Georgia State University, USA

'This volume provides an up-to-date introduction to aspects of corpus linguistics which are important to both learners and teachers of English. It demonstrates how corpus-linguistic methods can be fruitfully used to address problems and issues in the major fields of linguistics and applied linguistics.'

Karin Aijmer, University of Gothenburg, Sweden

'Exploring Corpus Linguistics is a new introduction to corpus linguistics. It provides a clear, systematic approach, breaking fresh ground through the use of guided, practical 'tasks' which will make the book of particular interest for teachers and students alike.'

Graeme Kennedy, Emeritus Professor, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
