Peer Review of proposed Routledge Handbook of Materials Development for Language Teaching
 The Routledge Handbook in Applied Linguistics Series provides “a comprehensive, must-have survey of a core-sub-discipline” for post-graduate and upper level undergraduate students. The aim of the series is to survey a topic, explain the significance of the area and critically discuss leading views. Although materials development is a burgeoning field in Applied Linguistics, which attracts doctoral students and is particularly popular on MA courses, both for the theoretical insights it brings and its practical utility for language teaching professionals, it still remains a relatively under-researched area. To our knowledge, no recent, extensive coverage of this field exists in a handbook format and many other texts (see Market Analysis section) either cover a narrower range of topics or focus on one particular aspect of the sub-discipline, such as materials evaluation. The proposed Handbook will address this issue by including a broader range of key topics, some of which have not received extensive coverage previously in the academic literature.
