Features: This collection of essays explores the impact of linguistics on language teaching from both theoretical and practical perspectives, acknowledging the guiding significance of theory while also pointing out that practitioners should not mechanically apply theoretical dogmas. The editors of this collection believe that language teaching is primarily a practical activity and follows certain principles. This collection focuses on the influence of linguistics and sociolinguistics on language teaching, which does not mean that language teaching is solely guided by these two disciplines. Due to limited space, this book does not provide a detailed introduction to the long history of teaching methods, nor does it explore the relationship between anthropology, semantics, psychology, social psychology, and language teaching.
