| Abstract
|
:
|
"Critical applied linguistics is a newly emergent approach to critical questions in language education, literacy, discourse analysis, language in the workplace, translation, and other language-related domains. This book is the first accessible guide and introduction to this newly defined area of work. It provides a clear and critical overview, highlighting problems, debates, and competing views in different domains. Although it reflects in part the author's own particular views, it also aims to help readers come to their own understanding of the central issues.

Covering both critical theory - from postcolonialism to queer theory - and domains of practice, this book is organized around the following themes: the politics of knowledge, the politics of language, the politics of texts, the politics of pedagogy, and the politics of difference. It is an important text for anyone involved in applied linguistics, TESOL, language education, or other language-related fields."--Jacket.
