Praise for the second edition
\"This second edition offers an authoritative up-to-date view of global and multidisciplinary perspectives in language teaching and learning. The editors have met the mammoth challenge of bringing together a wide range of top-flight scholarship into a single comprehensive volume. The result is an indispensible guide for students, teachers and scholars worldwide. Bravo!\" Sandra J. Savignon, Pennsylvania State University, USA
2000年，《语言教学与研究百科全书》出了第一版。时隔12年之后，又推出了第二版，应该更新、增加了不少新条目，期待中。 |
