Reviews
The A-Z Guide of Applied Linguistics Research Methods is a slim, clearly designed, easy-to-use instrument than aims to assist researchers and consumers of research to quickly get an overview of research methods in applied linguistics, together with the practices and terminology that go with them It can function as a primer or as a go-back-to type of guide, and its authors are to be commended for this welcome addition to the literature on research methods in applied linguistics. * Simone Curzio Bacchini, Reference Reviews, Vol. 30 (8) *

One of the hard parts of teaching research methods is to review key concepts, which this book makes easy.' Yasuhiro Shirai, Case Western Reserve University, USA
