The theme of this volume, a selection of papers from the 2003 conference of
the British Association of Applied Linguistics, celebrates the productive
interface between Applied Linguistics research and other disciplinary ways
of knowing, forms of professional practice and issues of public concern. In
the last two decades, the scope of applied linguistic research has
broadened considerably to encompass a wider range of topics, issues and
settings, drawing on rich and diverse methodologies. Topics covered in this
collection illustrate this diversity, including conversational analytic
perspectives on computer mediated communication, academic literacies, the
sociolinguistics of English in Africa, L1/L2 writing, classroom discourse
analysis, the psycholinguistics of second and foreign language acquisition,
phonological awareness in second language learning. The contributions, all
based on empirical research, address issues of language learning and use in
a range of languages: Chinese, English, Italian, German, Greek, Japanese,
Spanish.
