Expert contributors show how recent innovations in linguistics can support language teaching by providing a range of practical ideas that can be used in the classroom. Knowing About Languageis a valuable theoretical, critical and practical guide for the teacher and researcher, andanyone interested in applied linguistics and the study of language in education. Written by authors who are passionate about the value of language study both as a classroom topic and more generally, this book acts as a resource to inform and support teachers in wider aspects of their role by demonstrating the powerfully enabling nature and inherent value of language study and linguistics in secondary and post-16 curricula. | Knowing About Language by Marcello Giovanelli, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
