"Linguistics can often be alienating to language teachers who struggle to see the relevance of seemingly abstract theories about language on their daily practice. Linguistics for Language Teachers resolves this issue by offering an accessible overview of basic linguistic theory alongside concrete examples from a range of languages of its implications for language teaching. Any language teacher who reads this book will become more adept at supporting language learning in the classroom by building on and extending their students' existing linguistic knowledge."
