Features: "Discourse as Language: Implications for Language Teaching" is a classic work that explores the insights of discourse linguistics and discourse analysis for modern language teaching. The main purpose of this book is to describe the characteristics of language from the perspective and level of discourse, and on this basis, to propose a discourse-based approach to language teaching. In the history of the development of language teaching, the emergence of some major teaching theories and methods has been influenced, more or less, by related disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, and pedagogy at the time. Over the past half-century, the influence of linguistic research and linguistic theory on language teaching has become increasingly evident. For example, the idea of communicative language teaching that emerged in the 1970s was proposed under the influence of functional linguistics and sociolinguistics. In recent years, research in fields such as psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, neurolinguistics, and discourse linguistics has also played a significant role in advancing language teaching.
