5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply indispensable!,
By Hanne Lindegaard Svensson (Brønshøj, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (Paperback)
This dictionary can make life a lot easier for any university student studying linguistics or (foreign) language pedagogy! In a clear pedagogical way it explains as good as every term you might come across in those fields, from more general linguistic terms such as "direct object" and "phoneme", sociolinguistic and pragmatic terms like "politeness" and "gambit", terms used in language pedagogy, for instance, "explicit learning" and "episodic memory" as well as statistical terms like "standard deviation" and "statistical significance". Especially impressive is the way it explains all terms you might encounter when reading empirical studies, terms that you obviously also need if you want to do your own empirical study for a paper or a thesis. It has been a great help to me personally. I am currently writing my M.A. thesis (within the field of foreign language pedagogy), and in this connection I have done an emperical study, which would have been much much harder for me had I not had this dictionary.

essential study aid,
By Julie & co. (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (Paperback)
I'm doing postgraduate study in TESOL, and this little book never makes it back into my bookshelf, I refer to it frequently to check specific terms. Definitions and cross-referencing are clear and concise. I'm really glad I own it.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Every term you could ever possibly need defined,
By Misplaced Texan (Texas, The Continent and sometimes England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Longman Dictionary of Language Teaching and Applied Linguistics (Paperback)
The other reviewers say it all. A good resource and written in easy to understand definitions. I used it for a teacher training class and was never disappointed.
