While initiatives and efforts to foster openness and transparency in applied linguistics research are finally showing their first effects, little has been done to date to encourage similar openness when it comes to other central parts of many applied linguists’ jobs: the teaching of their discipline and the training of the next generation of researchers and practitioners in their area. This is despite many individuals being regularly engaged in teaching undergraduate and graduate classes, of course. Journal articles and handbooks typically don’t lend themselves to documenting the how to and showcasing approaches that people in the field have implemented at their institutions, even though this would likely be of great interest to others teaching the same subjects. This series collects and overviews syllabus descriptions for different staple courses in applied linguistics and language teaching programs around the world. The series is a starting point to promote openness and collaboration when it comes to syllabus design and teaching.
