Thematic bibliography on large class teaching and teaching in difficult circumstances (2002 onwards) [2nd edition]

The first edition of this bibliography was compiled as a small-scale University of Warwick Centre for Applied Linguistics ELLTA / APT research group activity in November 2010 by Mais Ajjan, Mehvish Saleem and Richard Smith, with input also from Huang, Xiaoyan. Our intention was to supplement the Bibliography on Class Size compiled by Hywel Coleman in October 2002 which was previously available on his website (although it is currently no longer accessible). This second edition was produced by Mais Ajjan and Richard Smith in August-November 2012. This edition contains some additional items, and all links have been checked (and some updated) and are ‘working’ at the time of publication. We have also added a new section providing links to audio- and video-recorded talks and presentations. Additions, corrections etc. are welcome. Please contact Richard Smith (R.C.Smith@warwick.ac.uk). This edition of the bibliography has been made freely available to download from: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/al/research/projects/telc
