The book introduces an innovative framework for understanding language through an assemblage approach, highlighting its dynamic and constructed nature. It challenges traditional views by suggesting that languages are not fixed entities but are formed from various elements, including both linguistic and non-linguistic components. This perspective emphasizes the role of social and physical contexts in shaping language, positioning applied linguistics as a practical assemblage. The work invites readers to rethink the essence of language and its relationship to our embodied experiences.

The second edition of this guide offers a comprehensive overview of critical applied linguistics, addressing key issues, debates, and differing perspectives in various language-related fields. It covers topics such as language education, literacy, discourse analysis, workplace language, and translation, making it an essential resource for understanding the complexities of language use in diverse contexts.
