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