Author: Michael McCarthy

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Release Date: 2001-02
This book provides a wide-ranging treatment of the major issues in applied linguistics.
Controversies in Applied Linguistics
There are several issues in English teaching on which applied linguists take very different positions: e.g. linguistic imperialism, the validity of critical discourse analysis, the pedagogic relevance of corpus descriptions of language, the theoretical bases of second language acquisition research, the nature of applied linguistics itself. This book presents exchanges between scholars arguing different positions, and directs attention to the key points at issue.
