Abstract:
The papers in this volume, selected through peer-review from the
presentations at the 2002 annual conference of the British Association
for Applied Linguistics in Cardiff, demonstrate the strides applied
linguists have taken, in 'pure' or 'impure' form, since the classic
volume of Corder's Introducing Applied Linguistics speculated about
the discipline's possible frontiers. Foundational questions of the
following kind form the backbone of the volume: 'Is applied
linguistics applied enough?'; 'Can applied linguists go where no
linguists have been before?'; 'Do applied linguists belong to one
community of practice or do they constitute a community of
communities?'; 'On a cost-benefit scale, how can applied linguists
gain communality across interdisciplinary initiatives while not losing
their disciplinary autonomy?'. With a judicious combination of
empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented studies, the volume takes a
close, hard look at the present and future challenges. This is summed
up in a call to arms for applied linguists to become more practically
relevant and reflexively grounded not only in addressing real world
problems, but also in doing so collaboratively in a sustained way with
practitioners involved.
