The volume is a must-read for researchers and students who are committed to moving beyond simplistic 'you ask-they answer-then you know' approaches to interviewing that continue to vex empirical inquiry in today's 'Interview Society'.\" --\u003cb\u003eSteven Talmy\u003c\/b\u003e, University of British Columbia, Canada \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores the mechanics of storytelling within a study aimed at focusing on a 'hidden' population of migrants in the city of York, UK. Taking applied linguistics to mean the consideration of real-world 'problems' as identified by a 'client', in which the use of (and beliefs about) language is a significant component, the authors describe the benefits and challenges of working in a partnership with a community organisation. With project participants from Africa, Europe, Asia and South and Central America who had lived in York between two and fifty years, the study considers the co-construction of meaning in interviews from a range of practical and theoretical perspectives. The book will be of interest to students, academic researchers and community project leaders who are interested in migration stories and interviews as a method of data collection.\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cb\u003eRachel Wicaksono\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor and Head of the School of Education, Language and Psychology at York St John University, UK.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDasha Zhurauskaya\u003c\/b\u003e was awarded a Master's by Research from the University of Leeds after completing a BA (Hons) in English Language and Linguistics at York St John University, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45273660391575,"sku":"9781137558381","price":4407.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781137558381.webp?v=1769237167","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/yorks-hidden-stories-interviews-in-applied-linguistics-9781137558381","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
