Applied Linguistics in the Middle East and North Africa : Current practices and future directions

This volume offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of applied research efforts in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

This region has not received due attention in the literature and this publication provides a much-needed contribution to the existing body of knowledge.

The editor recruited a number of renowned scholars who either work in the MENA countries or have experience doing research in this region to contribute to this project.

The selection of chapters ensured representation of applied linguistics efforts in North Africa, the Levant, and the Gulf.

The book looks into language research within social and educational MENA contexts.

The final part of the book provides a forward-looking perspective about applied linguistics research and practices in the Middle East and North Africa.

The book is primarily written for those interested in applied linguistics, particularly researchers, graduate students, and language professionals in the MNEA region.
