"Discourse in English Language Education provides a solid introduction to the major concepts and issues in discourse analysis and its applications in language teaching and learning. The field of Discourse Studies is becoming increasingly complex and the author has done a masterful job of highlighting the key literature, theories, and approaches. Examples of real-world discourse in diverse international settings help to make the concepts and theories accessible. This text will be an important resource for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in applied linguistics, language education, and TESOL. It is a unique and welcome addition to the field."Jane Jackson, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
