Each section comprises: a substantial, specific introduction which draws students' attention to key themes and issues relevant to its topic; a set of four or five selected readings which encourages students to locate critically these issues in context; a task, or set of tasks, obliging students to undertake 'hands-on' linguistic analysis of data and engage in more sophisticated discussion of pertinent issues.
