A full range of issues iscovered including theory, definitions, measurement as well as theeffects of instruction. This book is a welcome addition to the growingbody of studies on L2 knowledge types and will occupy an importantplace in university and private libraries.Susan Gass, University Distinguished Professor, Michigan StateUniversity

Implicit/ explicit knowledge constitutes a key distinction in thestudy of second language acquisition. This book reports a projectthat investigated ways of measuring implicit/explicit L2knowledge, the relationship between the two types of knowledgeand language proficiency, and the effect that different types ofform-focused instruction had on their acquisition.

English As A Local LanguagePost-colonial Identities and Multilingual PracticesChristina Higgins (University of Hawaii)Hitherto, this field of scholarship has been dominated by the researchof English as an ‘international language’ or ‘global language’ or ‘worldlanguage’. But in this book, Christina Higgins jettisons that norm andbrings a daring yet refreshing new voice to the debate by focusing onthe appropriation of English as a local language and mapping thepolitics of its co-existence with indigenous languages in Kenya andTanzania. She has developed a framework that places multilingualpractices at the theoretical centre while responding brilliantly to thegrowing relevance of social theory in sociolinguistics.Professor Tope Omoniyi, Roehampton University, UK

This book explores how multilingualism involving English isordered in post-colonial, globalizing societies. By placingmultilingual practices at the theoretical center, the authorinvestigates a range of sociolinguistic domains to demonstratehow individuals use English as a local resource alongside otherlanguages in East Africa to produce an array of local and globalidentifications.

The Sociolinguistics Of Development In AfricaPaulin G Djité (University of Western Sydney)This is a powerful piece of work that draws together a lot of disparateinformation, much not readily accessible to an English speakingpublic, about African languages, their use and the impact of that onthe (non)development occurring in Africa, thereby highlighting the rolethat African languages might play in reversing that situation.Richard B. Baldauf Jr., University of Queensland, Brisbane,Australia

Promoting Your BookEach book receives individual attention from our marketing

department and is strongly promoted at relevant conferences. We

send review copies to journals and we run regular targeted direct

mail campaigns. Our internet promotion includes email

marketing, website sales and notification to major booksellers

and wholesalers worldwide. In addition, sales of foreign language

rights have increased enormously in recent years. As well as the

major European languages, foreign language rights have been

sold to several Asian countries including Japan, Korea and

Malaysia and to smaller countries such as Estonia and Latvia. We

several Chinese and Indian publishers.

Tips for successful book proposals

1. Make sure you think we are the right publisher for your

book before you send the proposal. Please tell us if you are

submitting to multiple publishers simultaneously.

2. Submit proposals by email not post.

3. State which series you think your book would be

suitable for.

4. Follow our notes on submitting a book proposal carefully,

answering all the questions in a clear, concise manner.

5. Proposals should not be longer than 4 or 5 pages. A full

CV is not necessary – only a brief one which tells of the

most recent affiliation and important publications and

papers published.

6. Define the possible readership accurately and realistically.

The “interested layperson” rarely exists: only cite them as

a possible audience if you are prepared to find one!

7. Please take time to research competing and complementary

titles. If there are already several titles on the market in the

same area we need to know why yours is going to be

different or better.

8. Try to make the book to appeal to a wider audience. Case

studies should always be compared to and referred to

other, preferably international research, on the subject.

9. If your book is based on a PhD, it must be completely re-

written to fit a book format.

10.When submitting your manuscript, follow our guidelines

carefully. Please pay particular attention to references.
