From Linguistic Theory to the Classroom: A Practical Guide and Case Study

This book shows how linguistic research can be used in foreign language teaching. It suggests that it should first be applied to second language acquisition studies, and then carried into the classroom. The text provides a practical case study that follows cognitive linguistic studies as they were applied and eventually used to teach phrasal verbs in EFL settings. It is recommended for aspiring foreign language educators who are interested in language, as it teaches them how to follow their interests and turn them into research that they can use in graduate school. It is also recommended for linguistic researchers who want to use their findings practically and educators who want to know what linguistics can offer the classroom. See more
