Contemporary Applied Linguistics Volume 2 Reviews

These volumes take their mission seriously: to build the future of applied linguistics, grounded in language but with a broad concern for real-world issues. The volumes make for rewarding reading and demonstrate the continuing and renewed relevance of applied linguistics. (Diane Larsen-Freeman, Professor of Linguistics, University of Michigan, USA)
