EXERCISES
These exercises are intended to tell you more about Introducing Applied Linguistics: Concepts and Skills and its contents, and to show why it will be a useful addition to your library. Some activities give you an insight into the topics covered in each group of research chapters, while other activities give you an idea of the language exercises in the study skills chapters of the book. They focus on features of the language of Applied Linguistics which, in our experience, can be confusing to students new to the subject. All examples are taken from the book.
