As such, these books not only extend the field of applied linguistics itself and lend an additional significance to its enquiries, but also provide an indispensable professional foundation for language pedagogy and its practice.The scope of the series includes:second language acquisitionbilingualism and multi/plurilingualismlanguage pedagogy and teacher educationtesting and assessmentlanguage planning and policylanguage internationalizationtechnology-mediated communicationdiscourse-, conversation-, and contrastive-analysispragmaticsstylisticslexicographytranslation Reviews This book presents an unmatched, comprehensive summary of current research on the language development of adolescent multilingual users of English within a psychological, sociological, and educational framework. It should be a required text for all educators working in this area. - Sandy McKay, Professor Emerita, San Francisco State University, USAThe core message of Adolescent Second Language Learning and Multilingualism is that the period of adolescence is more complex than we may have previously thought, not only with respect to neurological development, but also to identify formation, rites of passage and engagement with culture and media. Published as part of the Oxford Applied Linguistics series, the book will appeal to an audience well versed in applied linguistics research and fairly au fait with evolutions and trends in the literature. Teachers of adolescent students may find that Harklau's analysis resonates with them, or perhaps that it provides them with a different vocabulary for articulating and interpreting their experiences. - Modern English Teacher Part of...
