This book opens readers' eyes to something they see all the time but take for granted: street signs. It is a portrait of the signs on modern English streets: what they look like, who and what they are for, how they link to English history and how they form part of life in multilingual England today.

This textbook offers an introductory overview of eight hotly-debated topics in second language acquisition research. It offers a glimpse of how SLA researchers have tried to answer common questions about second language acquisition rather than being a comprehensive introduction to SLA research.

This book covers approaches to second language research that in some way conform to the agenda of linguistics. It covers the main current theories, research methods and techniques, and it considers the crucial problems involved in relating Second Language Acquisition to linguistics.
