Language at Work
The 31st BAAL Annual Meeting, held in September 1997 at the University of Birmingham, had as its theme Language at Work. The papers in this collection, although they relate to a wide variety of different contexts, all deal with people using language as part of their working life, and they are all concerned with how language functions to construct participant relationships and institutions. In short, these papers demonstrate how people at work make language for them.
Language and Education
The papers in this collection discuss educational/applied linguistics discourse, language policy and education, professional culture in language education, and learner language in educational settings.

Unity and Diversity in Language Use
The papers in this collection, drawn from the 34th Annual Conference of the British Association for Applied Linguistics, reflect a number of different perspectives within the field of applied linguistics at the start of the twenty-first century.

Topics addressed range from issues of global communication in a world of shifting demographies and technological advances to analyses of specific co...
Applied Linguistics at the Interface
The theme of this volume, a selection of papers from the 2003 conference of the British Association of Applied Linguistics, celebrates the productive interface between Applied Linguistics research and other disciplinary ways of knowing, forms of professional practice and issues of public concern. In the last two decades, the scope of applied linguistic research has broadened considerably to encompass a wider range of topics, issues and settings, drawing on rich and diverse methodologies. Topics covered in this collection illustrate this diversity, including conversational analytic perspectives on computer mediated communication, academic literacies, the sociolinguistics of English in Africa, L1/L2 writing, classroom discourse analysis, the psycholinguistics of second and foreign language acquisition, phonological awareness in second language learning. The contributions, all based on empirical research, address issues of language learning and use in a range of languages: Chinese, English, Italian, German, Greek, Japanese, Spanish.
