Series: Routledge Applied Linguistics

Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive textbooks, providing students and researchers with the support they need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and Applied Linguistics.

Each book in the series guides readers 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 research responses.

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

Reviews for Language Testing and Assessment: An Advanced Resource Book

'Perhaps the greatest strength of this text is the way it considers a wide range of topics from a philosophical perspective... Already a bit worn from extensive cross-reading, this is a book I will be referring to frequently for years to come.' - Tim Newfields, Toyo University
