Covering a variety of themes and subject areas related to language and communication in international and multilinguistic contexts, this book offers an insight into the latest research in applied linguistics and language acquisition. Aimed at both scholars and language practitioners, it presents empirical findings from researchers from more than 10 countries. Rather than limiting its focus to one language and context as a source of research, the collection reports and applies findings from various languages and communities.
