Practice and Theory for Materials Development in L2 Learning claims a unique position in a sense
that in the book practitioners evaluate theories, as the title of the book indicates.
It presents 16 studies from 12 countries across the globe (Australia, Cyprus, Egypt,
Hong Kong, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, Oman, Russia, U.K., Viet Nam) involving
materials development for diverse learners and contexts. These reports provide snapshots
of the complex and dynamic nature of how materials are used and their effects on
language learning.
