From the shelter of nearby trees Martin Kimber is watching events ...watching Stella. Next morning he walks into a Notting Hill police station and confesses to the murder.

Someone without conscience or pity. Someone who will tap into Kimber's disturbed mind. Someone with a dark plan...

The themes explored include the Toltec wisdom of the heart, the track of love, and the war of control.

Controversies in Applied Linguistics presents controversies between prominent scholars over issues where they hold very different postions. Five sections contain 33 key articles (reprinted in their entirety) dealing with 9 topics. Each unit is prefaced by an introduction to the controversy in question.

The sections are headed - The Global Spread of English, Corpus Linguistics and Language Teaching, Critical Discourse Analysis, Second Language Acquisition and The Nature of Apllied Linguistics.

This book goes back to basics by investigating fundamental assumptions about the way English should be defined and taught as a school subject. It looks at different attitudes to English, and developments in its description, and it critically examines current proposals for the specification of course content and classroom methodology, with particular reference to ideas about authenticity and task-based learning.

As the English language continues to spread globally resource for English teachers and applied linguists wishing to understand the ideological challenges behind teaching English in the periphery.
