Editorial Reviews
Review
The collection is recommended not only to the students who are its intended readership, but also to supervisors of specific topics and to lecturers on research methods wanting up-to-date summaries. –Discourse Studies
… this is a really welcome book: engaging, readable, personable, accessible, useful, and interesting. I would certainly recommend it to beginner research students. –ELT Journal, Vol. 65, No. 4
