An Introduction to Applied Linguistics: From Practice to Theory (Edinburgh Textbooks in Applied Linguistics) - Softcover
Synopsis
Language and language problems affect us all and are an integral part of our social experience. Alan Davies takes this premise as his starting point and proceeds to argue that, rather than simply studying or reading about it, applied linguistics is best understood in practice. In the process of setting this practical outlook against the historical background and changing public needs and competing ideologies, Davies demonstrates how theory can be derived.

Review
"'Alan Davies' introductory text forcefully re-echoes the famous Edinburgh series in applied linguistics, which he contributed to in a major way.' Applied Linguistics 'Every discipline coming of age needs to reflect on its origins, its history, its conflicts, in order to gain a better understanding of its identity and its long term objectives. Alan Davies, one of the founding fathers of applied linguistics, is the ideal person for this soul-searching exercise... Introduction to Applied Linguistics is obligatory reading for students and researchers in applied linguistics, for language professionals and for anyone interested in the link between linguistics and applied linguistics.' Modern Language Review"
