Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

This comprehensive textbook provides an accessible research-based introduction to second language learning and teaching. Moving away from grammatically driven methodologies toward a linguistically anchored approach, it demonstrates the systematic study of languages through different units of everyday language use.

Learning and Teaching a Second Language: A Pragmatic Perspective provides an accessible research-based introduction to second language learning and teaching. .
Written by leading experts in the field, this book provides pragmatics-focused insights into the process of acquiring any language, as well as the complexities and challenges often experienced by learners and teachers of a second language. House and Kádár propose a systematic model to describe, interpret and overcome such challenges, illustrated with real case studies from several second languages such as English, Chinese, Japanese, German and Hungarian. The chapters are clearly structured around practical tasks, encouraging the reader to acquire competence in the field either in a classroom or independently.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, this is the ideal textbook for students of applied linguistics, pragmatics, intercultural communication, as well as pedagogy and communication studies. It is also an invaluable resource for practitioners and teachers seeking to develop their analytical skills and teaching competence.
