This book describes how the teaching of English can be organised by educational systems, institutions (e.g., schools, language centres, universities), and teachers. Accessibly written, the book combines theory and practice of curriculum development by explaining key concepts through real-life examples from a range of international contexts, including Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Japan, Spain, the UK and the USA. It includes activities that encourage students to analyse curricul
It is crucial to apply robust analytic methods to the study of discourses deemed 'ideological'. This book applies the Guidelines and Procedures for ideological research, as presented in Verschueren's Ideology in Language Use, to an exciting new area of study; discourses intended to improve humanity. It analyses the discourse of Amnesty International appeal letters, to show (contrary to what the field of critical discourse analysis often assumes) that ideological discourse can sometimes have a po
Teacher emotion is a topic of increasing interest in the fields of applied linguistics and TESOL. Bringing together cutting-edge research from an international team of renowned scholars, this book provides a collection of studies that explore this fascinating topic from an extensive range of contexts and perspectives. The volume includes real case studies from educators around the world, providing a fully global overview of teacher emotions. Through linking emotions to personal experiences, iden
Religious texts played a central role in the historical development of English. Harnessing corpus linguistic techniques, historical pragmatics, and the history of the English church, this book interrogates the keywords that have dominated English religious expression from the end of the medieval period to the eve of the Darwinian age. Exploring a number of historical religious works from the late medieval period to the nineteenth century, it shows how changes in the deployment of key words refle
Grounded in descriptive linguistics, this textbook introduces the basics of the major subfields of linguistics, as well as the Chinese writing system, for students with no prior linguistic training. It presents the Chinese language from the perspective of both modern linguistics and its longstanding philological legacy, as well as providing historical and sociolinguistic context. Chapters cover phonology and phonetics, morphology, lexicon, lexical semantics, syntax, sign language and braille. Au
The current communication pattern worldwide is marked by two key features: digital connectivity and civic unrest. Communities co-produce meaning through nuanced, often contested communicative acts that range across generational, cultural, and ideological boundaries. This panel proposes that intercommunity interaction is not merely an exchange of information but a dynamic space of pragmatic negotiation, in which utterances are determined by context, implicature, and social intent (Levinson, 2023)
