Hi.

Have you looked at 'Sociolinguistics and Language Teaching'?

Here's a link: http://publishing.cambridge.org/ge/elt/appliedlinguistics/32450/

> Hi All,
>
> I've probably asked this before, but here goes again... In the spring
> semester I'll be teaching a graduate level course titled "ESOL
> Applied Linguistics." This course is geared toward the ESOL
> endorsement that teachers here in Florida need on their certificates.
> The problem is, there's no prerequisite, so most of the students have
> not had a linguistics course before. So, the course ends up being an
> intro to basic concepts in linguistics, but with a tilt in the
> direction of issues faced by teachers in multilingual settings.
>
> For the past few times around I've been using Cleary and Linn's
> *Linguistics for Teachers*, but it's becoming a bit dated and also
> somewhat hard to get. Everything else I've been able to look at seems
> too specialized in the direction of second language teaching. I
> *wish* I could find an up to date version of the old *Survey of
> Applied Linguistics* by Wardhaugh and Brown, a single text that would
> give students an idea of the breadth of the field. Does such a thing
> exist (or do we have to write one >:-])?  Does anyone know of
> anything that remotely approximates what I'm looking for?
>
> Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
