Description - Controversies in Applied Linguistics by Barbara Seidlhofer

This book presents several isues in English teaching on which applied linguists take very different positions. For example, linguistic imperialism, the validity of critical discourse analysis, the pedagogic relevance of corpus descriptions of language, the theoretical bases of second language acquisition research, and the nature of applied linguistics itself. This book presents exchanges between scholars arguing different positions, and directs attention to the key points at issue.
