Studies in Applied and Theoretical Linguistics showcases applied and theoretical linguistic research of Hungarian and American scholars who have taught, are teaching, and/or have conducted research at Hungarian universities. The studies, which cover a wide range of topics, are intended to contribute to the growing body of research on the learning and teaching of English in Hungary, and on the linguistic aspects of the Hungarian language.

Learning and Teaching English in India presents empirical studies on the various factors that influence English language learning and teaching in India, including language learning beliefs, learning styles and strategies, anxiety, and attitudes and motivation. The author explores several aspects of English language learning and teaching in the multilingual Indian context and examines whether and to what extent the variables which have been shown to influence second language learning in monolingual countries also apply to the Indian situation.
