This year sees us add to our collection of core textbooks in applied linguistics and TESOL with the second edition of Ian McGrath’s Materials Evaluation and Design for Language Teaching, a truly practical guide to the selection, adaptation and supplementation of 576 eup McGrath 2nd ed_576 eup McGrath 2nd ed 03/02/2014 16:46 Page 1 teaching materials (page 5) as well as Fiona Farr’s Developing Second Edition M E D I N B U R G H T E X T B O O K S I N A P P L I E D L I N G U I S T I C S a t S E R I E S E D I T O R S : A L A N D AV I E S & K E I T H M I T C H E L L e Practice in TESOL, the fifth book to feature in our Edinburgh r i This new textbook series provides advanced introductions to the main areas of study in a l s contemporary Applied Linguistics, with a principal focus on the theory and practice of N E language teaching and language learning and on the processes and problems of language in use. v a l Materials Evaluation u O Textbooks in TESOL series (page 7). a t i Materials Evaluation and Design o n and Design for a for Language Teaching ITI n d Second Edition D D Language Teaching e We’re also delighted to add to our collection of advanced I A N M c G R A T H s i g E n Second Edition Teaching materials play a crucial role in teaching-learning. When these take the form of f o D a textbook it is essential that the textbook be carefully selected to meet both external r L textbooks with the publication of Christian Kay and Kathryn requirements and the needs of the teachers. It is also important that teachers be able to a N mediate between the textbook and the learners, adapting and supplementing the book n as necessary. Materials Evaluation and Design for Language Teaching provides a systematic g approach to the selection and subsequent evaluation of textbooks and practical advice u a O on their adaptation and supplementation. But it goes beyond this. For teachers who g e Allan’s English Historical Semantics as part of the ETOTEL- prefer to prepare their own materials rather than basing their teaching on a book there are suggestions on systematising the process of materials development and on the use T e of learner-generated materials. a c h Key features include the following: i n SEC ADVANCED series (page 18) and Yoad Winter’s Elements of g • integrated and wide-ranging coverage which includes reference to the use of concordances and the Internet I • numerous examples A • interleaved tasks which can be utilised by an instructor N Formal Semantics as part of the Edinburgh Advanced Textbooks • extensive bibliography M Ian McGrath is currently on secondment from the University of Nottingham to the Hong c I A N M c G R A T H Kong Polytechnic University, where he is an Associate Professor in the Department of G R in Linguistics series (page 16).

It is also sufficiently comprehensive and detailed to serve ebook textbook as a reference work for scholars from linguistics and neighbouring disciplines who wish to gain a better understanding of cognitive linguistics. The book is subdivided into four distinct parts: the cognitive linguistics enterprise; cognitive semantics; cognitive approaches to grammar; and new horizons in cognitive linguistics. • The cognitive linguistics enterprise • Cognitive semantics • Cognitive approaches to grammar • New Horizons in Cognitive Linguistics It is suitable for a range of different course types, both in terms of length and level, as well as in terms of focus. In addition to defining the field, it also includes appropriate critical evaluation and explores complementary and potentially competing approaches. In particular, cognitive linguistics is compared and contrasted with formal approaches including Generative Grammar, formal approaches to semantics, and Relevance Theory and sets recent developments in these fields in context.
