Description
This is an essential resource for anyone studying or teaching both applied linguistics and materials development. Founded on the principled development of materials for language learning underpinned by applied linguistic theory, this new edition now features new chapters on:
· aligning textbook content with real-world language use
· materials development and assessment in comprehensive learning systems
· developing materials in the age of AI
· global coursebooks in the post-methods era
· trans-modal second-language composition
Each chapter leads with the foundational theory and research conclusions for its area and then sets out their practical applications for materials development. By reporting and commenting on current theory and research, analysing the match between current published materials and current theory and suggesting and exemplifying applications of current theory to materials development, Applied Linguistics and Materials Development bridges the continuing gap between research and practice. Its unifying principle is the enabling of researchers and practitioners to help learners to develop communicative ability in their target language.
