"There's Nothing So Practical as Some Good Theories."

Roberts, Celia

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v7 n1 p66-78 1997

Presents issues regarding the practical relevance of applied linguistics and the relationship between researchers and the institutions and practitioners with whom they work. Suggests that applied linguistics needs to constitute its intellectual base within practical work outside the academy rather than applying theory to practice. (54 references) (Author/CK)
