Of all areas of "applied linguistics", none has shown the effect of linguistic findings, principles and techniques more than foreign-language teaching - so much so that the term "applied linguistics" is often taken as being synonymous with that task.

This is the sense in which S. Pit Corder uses it in Introducing Applied Linguistics. His book is intended primarily for practicing language teachers and teachers in training, but his approach is sufficiently broadly based for it to be of interest to the general reader. Part One deals with general questions about the nature of language; Part Two with the techniques of linguistics and their relationship to language teaching; and Part Three with the techniques of applied linguistics, with separate chapters on varieties, contrastive studies, the learner's language, the syllabus, pedagogic grammars and evaluation.

S. Pit Corder is Professor of Applied Linguistics and Head of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Edinburgh.
