The series Trends in Applied Linguistics aims to meet the challenges of the rapidly growing field of applied linguistics. Applied linguistics is understood, in a broad sense, by focusing on the application of theoretical linguistics to current problems arising in different contexts of human society. Given the interdisciplinary character of applied linguistics, the series includes cognitive, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and educational perspectives.
The series covers the following topics, among others:
Second language acquisition and the acquisition of additional languages
Bilingual and multilingual education
Language planning and language policy
Literacy skills
Second/foreign language pedagogy
Translation and interpretation
Language for specific purposes
Discourse analysis
Language testing and assessment
Child language
Language and gender
Pragmatics and rhetorics
Corpus analysis
Critical pedagogies
Research methodology in applied linguistics
