Exploring the multifaceted nature of metaphor, this book emphasizes the importance of employing various research methods to gain a comprehensive understanding. It advocates for a multidisciplinary approach, highlighting how different investigative techniques can reveal deeper insights into the complexities of metaphorical language and its implications in communication and thought processes.

Focusing on complexity theory, this book explores its relevance to various aspects of applied linguistics, such as first and second language acquisition, teaching methodologies, and discourse analysis. It highlights how these theoretical concepts can be effectively applied to enhance understanding and practice in the field of linguistics.

Recent years have seen rapid growth in the numbers of children being taught foreign languages at younger ages. While course books aimed at young learners are appearing on the market, there is scant theoretical reference in the teacher education literature. Teaching Languages to Young Learners is one of the few to develop readers' understanding of what happens in classrooms where children are being taught a foreign language. It will offer teachers and trainers a coherent theoretical framework to structure thinking about children's language learning. It gives practical advice on how to analyse and evaluate classroom activities, language use and language development. Examples from classrooms in Europe and Asia will help bring alive the realities of working with young learners of English.
