“The editors and the contributors of the handbook have accomplished an outstanding job. The handbook brings together a considerable portion of the latest scholarship and wisdom of the field of Applied Linguistics. This volume is going to be an asset in the personal library of anyone involved in Applied Linguistics research for the coming years.” (Kioumars Razavipour, Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, August 10, 2020)
“The most prominent feature of this handbook is in intersecting research synthetic thinking and layering approach orientation towards all the research issues in the sections. Such coherent direction represents a retrospective-and prospective approach, whose proponents attend to both past applied linguistics research and future endeavours in the transdisciplinary field of applied linguistics to provide sound empirical evidence for the complicated questions. … Another notable feature of the handbook is related to its accessibility to the research consumers with the intermediate level of background on research methodology.” (Mohammad Amini Farsani, Applied Linguistics, 24 June, 2019)

“Within the expanding interest in the role of methodology for how applied linguistics constitutes itself, this Handbook readily distinguishes itself for the expansive view it has chosen for circumscribing its domain – from wrestling with issues of knowledge construction, to the need for nuanced application of diverse methodological options, to the challenge of venturing theoretical, empirical, and practical interpretations of what our tools can yield. Its critically reflective stance will make it a valued source for emerging and established scholars alike.” (Heidi Byrnes, Professor Emeritus, Georgetown University, USA)
“The editors have assembled an international team of leading scholars and produced an impressive volume of know-how. It is masterfully balanced in terms of theoretical insight and practical guidance. The writing style is consistently lucid and warm throughout. It is an indispensable companion to anyone who is serious about applied linguistics research.” (Li Wei,Chair of Applied Linguistics, University College London, UK)()
