ELF Research Methods and Approaches to Data and Analyses
This book systematically explores and discusses English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) research methods frequently deployed by ELF researchers in analysing their data. It mainly covers three different approaches: corpus-based, both written and spoken, conversation analytic and narrative approaches. In addition to exploring these different approaches to ELF data, the volume also introduces case studies that utilise them in analysing data in both academic and workplace settings, which facilitates not only the understanding of the ways in which research is conducted but also its findings. Furthermore, the book discusses theoretical underpinnings of ELF research and its recent development in its first part. It is comprehensive both in understanding theory and exploring research methods which can be deployed in conducting ELF research.The book, therefore, will be of great interest and use for both ELF researchers and educators as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students who are about to embark on their ELF and ELF-related research, and also to those who are new to the field.

The Problematics of Writing Back to the Imperial Centre
In the wake of decolonization, colonialist narratives have systematically been rewritten from indigenous perspectives. This phenomenon is referred to as "the Empire writes back to the centre"--a trend that asserted itself in late twentieth-century postcolonial criticism. The aim of such acts of writing back is to read colonialist texts in a Barthesian way inside-out or ? l'envers, to deconstruct the Orientalist and colonialist dogmas, and eventually create a dialogue where there was only a monologue. Turning the colonial text inside-out and rereading it through the lens of a later code allows the postcolonial text to unlock the closures of its colonial precursor and change it from the inside. Under this critical scholarship, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness (1899) has been a particularly influential text for Chinua Achebe and V. S. Naipaul. Their novels Things Fall Apart (1958) and A Bend in the River (1979) can be seen as a rewriting of Conrad's novella. However, before examining their different rewriting strategies, it would be fruitful to locate them within the postcolonial tradition of rewriting. While Achebe clearly stands as the leading figure of the movement, the Trinidadian novelist is, in fact, difficult to pigeonhole. Does Naipaul write back to, that is criticize, or does he rewrite, and in a way adopt and justify, imperial ideology? Since not all rewriting involves writing back in terms of anti-colonial critique, Naipaul's position continues to be explored as the enigmatic in-betweenness and double-edgedness of an "insider" turned "outsider." Taking cognizance of these different critical perceptions can become a way to effectively highlight Achebe's "(mis)-reading" and Naipaul's "(mis)-appropriation" of Conrad, a way to set the framework for the simulated conversation this book seeks to create between the three novelists.

The Scent of Odisha
The Scent of Odisha ought to travel far and wide, not only because the Odisha musk needs olfactors but the universe requires it to live better. Overwhelming naturalness & credulity, which is why some believe that it is a mystic land. Has to be. The unimaginable & incredible happens in Odisha, defying calculations, assertions and wily aggressions. Odisha carries a great mystery within itself which has to be realised and a great potentiality which has to be actualised. Hence the Scent of Odisha is peculiar and quite different and yet not mulish. Scent knows no border and Odias know no delimitation. This cosmopolitanism of Odisha has a fragrance which has both the high and low notes, the steadfast & discursive narratives, the ingenue & chic souls and all the variants to make it a full-bodied fragrance. The enormity & diversity of Odisha canvas is daunting, and the Scent is a whiff around the wood. Much lies inside it. The dedication of the book to Koraput celebrates the simplicity and richness of the indigenous community. It is here that everything has started, even fourteen billion years ago and it is here that the next centuries are being crafted. The author's reflection in the essay, Origin of the Origin will speak more on this. Akshaya Mohanty deserved more from his fans, Madhu babu's nationalism should be made au courant, a Ministry of thinking is perhaps essential now and the unscrupulous Officers can't be allowed to derail progress. Many more waves rough out in the tranquil Buddha land, a gem in the east, where the Sun rises a bit early, every day. Every day Odisha has a new story and every day Odisha fetes the past. This swing is the romance of the Scent, the mystic spirit, maverick, uncorked but also corked. Inclusive of all shades but much beyond the ideas of right & wrong.

Grammar Nonsense and What To Do about It
Do you hate teaching some aspects of grammar? Do you ever feel frustrated that your students just don't get it? Well, in Grammar Nonsense, Andrew Walkley and Hugh Dellar argue that you shouldn't really blame yourself. The fault lies largely with the way grammar rules and methods have been passed down through training and published material and become established as the way of doing things: a straightjacket that we need to escape from. Through an entertaining series of rants and meditations on all things grammatical, from the use of the word 'grammar' to the horror of teaching verb patterns, they aim to pull apart rules which we give without thinking and to question approaches to practice that are seen as a must. Along the way, you'll not only learn how published materials get written and about ideas such as 'the transformation fallacy' and 'grammar olives', but you'll also get plenty of practical suggestions as to what to do about all this nonsense.
