    This study examines the relevance of schema theory to literary theory and the analysis of literary texts. Schema theory suggests that people understand texts and experiences by comparing them with stereotypical mental representations of similar cases. The new experience is then processed in terms of its deviation from that structure or its conformity to it. The book concludes with a section on pedagogical implications and an analysis of three well-known literary texts.

    Discourse and Literature
  • This book reviews research into second language acquisition and provides readers with a comprehensive review of the "state of the art" in this important area of applied linguistics. It examines the critical reactions to the different theories of second language acquisition.

    Understanding Second Language Acquisition
  • Presents a language teaching programme based on the use of 'prefabricated language'. The authors show that the unit of language they term the 'lexical phrase' can serve as an effective basis, for both second and foreign language learning.

    Lexical Phrases and Language Teaching
  • Offers a discussion of the basic concerns which underlie the development and use of language tests. Presenting a synthesis of research on testing, this book is useful for students on teacher education courses. It is also helpful for those professionally involved in designing and administering tests, acting as a complement to 'how to' books.

    Fundamental Considerations in Language Testing
  • Focusing on complexity theory, this book explores its relevance to various aspects of applied linguistics, such as first and second language acquisition, teaching methodologies, and discourse analysis. It highlights how these theoretical concepts can be effectively applied to enhance understanding and practice in the field of linguistics.

    Complex Systems and Applied Linguistics
  • Describes ideas, techniques, and procedures which enable the practising language teacher to better identify the local needs of particular groups of second language learners, and then work towards meeting those needs. This book contains illustrative examples and practical exercises which teachers can adapt and use in their own classrooms

    Focus on the Language Learner
  • This book traces the history of English language teaching right up to the origins of the communicative approach, ending with a discussion of the impact of applied linguistics on language teaching in both America and Britain

    English Medium Instruction
  • This book presents SLA research as a source of specifications for teachers to explore in their own classrooms. The author sees the four main roles of SLA researchers as developing relevant theories, conducting their own classroom research, making research accessible to teachers, and facilitating action research. Each chapter addresses a major issue in the field of SLA and language teaching.
