Abstract:

This volume represents a unique addition to the growing body of empirical
literature on materials development, adopting a reverse approach to the topic.
Rather than applying ‘theory to practice’, practitioners and researchers from
11 countries reappraise applied linguistics theories through practice. The
book also provides evidence for the diversity of materials development around
the globe at different levels for different specialities and for different
purposes.

Each chapter surveys the relevant literature (such as task-based learning and
language and culture), describes a specific research project, reports the
results of the project, and discusses the implications of these results for
the development of materials both in the local context and in general. 

After each section there are editorial comments highlighting the issues
emerging from the research, and there is a conclusion which connects the
findings of the various chapters and makes suggestions both for future
research and for the principled development of materials for L2 learners.

The book will be suitable for teachers, materials developers, academics and
students in post-graduate courses in applied linguistics, in TEFL/TESOL and in
the teaching of other languages as an L2.
