Overview

Superdiverse classrooms, curriculum reforms, the need for alternative, formative assessment methods, sound research to identify student populations at risk, thought-provoking proposals to develop lexical areas and components of intercultural communication skills - these are just a few of the topics that make INTERNATIONAL CURRENT TRENDS IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS AND PEDAGOGY a compelling book for anyone interested in theoretical developments, trends, and examples of good practices and inspiring ideas in the field of applied linguistics, language education and pedagogy. This book includes a collection of engaging pieces of research and reminds us that ""education is a form of living and in this respect, it is a daily practice that resides between the spaces of phronesis and theoria"" (Baldacchino, in this volume). Global in the results reported and innovative in its suggestions, International Current Trends in Applied Linguistics and Pedagogy paves the way for a better understanding of the direction that language education needs to take in the 21st century -- a century of multiple and multiplying social, cultural and technological challenges. Through a multidimensional and multicultural collection of research, an attempt is made to shed light onto the current diverse context of research, teaching and learning and offer incentives for further investigating and consideration.
