At the risk of appearing somewhat
self-serving, I will invite you to look at my own collection of readings
entitled “Linguistics at Work: A Reader of Applications.”
This book is a supplementary textbook. It doesn’t discuss
linguistic theory, but it has over forty readings of individuals applying
various subdisciplines of linguistics to a variety of tasks. For example,
some deal with linguists or people using linguistic principles and knowledge in
court cases, product-naming, software, speech therapy, dictionary making,
advertising, language policy and planning, language pedagogy, writing
instruction, reading instruction, literary analysis, translation, etc. The
book was originally marketed by Harcourt Brace, but is now published by Heinle
& Heinle (A division of Thomson Learning). It’s worth a
look. The book originally appeared as a peer-reviewed textbook in 1997,
but with the change in publishers and the passage of time, it is now handled,
unfortunately, through the custom publishing division of Heinle &
Heinle.

In addition to the other books that have
been discussed, I’d mention Linguistics
for Teachers, ed. by Cleary and Linn (readings by different authors;
you might find a couple of them useful to put on reserve) and potentially
Rosina Lippi-Green’s English with an
Accent. The latter is not an introduction to applied linguistics in
any sense, but rather a highly-readable treatment of dialect discrimination in

I have just been assigned (much to my delight) to teach the senior
level Applied Linguistics course for the Dept. of Education. This is a
required course for most Ed majors on our campus. Groups like Phys Ed
majors are excluded, but the majority of the students will certainly NOT be
prospective English teachers--they will be a very small minority.
What textbook(s) would best be suited for this particular audience? Any
suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
John
