The book titled Applied Linguistics in English Language Teaching in Mexico: Research of Graduate Students presents original studies carried out by five early-career researchers and English as a foreign language (EFL) practitioners who conducted applied research in a variety of educational contexts as part of the thesis requirements of the MA program in Applied Linguistics in English Language Teaching (ELT) at the University of Guanajuato. These research projects were carried out with the aim of understanding issues related to the field of applied linguistics and ELT and providing solutions by adopting problem-solving approaches. This book consists of five chapters which address a range of relevant topics in ELT in Mexico, including the interplay among learner identity, learner socialization and language learning; the relationship between poetry and pronunciation accuracy in EFL classes; growing up as multilinguals; perceptions regarding a constructivist teaching approach in a private school; and the role of emotions related to speaking.
