Recenzje

"The A-Z Guide of Applied Linguistics Research Methods is a slim, clearly designed, easy-to-use instrument than aims to assist researchers and 'consumers' of research ... to quickly get an overview of research methods in applied linguistics, together with the practices and terminology that go with them. ... It can function as a primer or as a go-back-to type of guide, and its authors are to be commended for this welcome addition to the literature on research methods in applied linguistics."
