Extract

There is little doubt that critical applied linguistics is one of the most controversial and contentious areas in linguistics today. This new book, Critical applied linguistics: A critical introduction, is an attempt to provide a much-needed detailed and comprehensive introduction to this emergent approach. It is written by Alastair Pennycook of the University of Technology, Sydney, who has been one of the major proponents of critical applied linguistics during the past decade.
