在这篇关于新加坡应用语言学和语言教学研究的综述中，将回顾2000年至2007年期间一百多篇国家出版物。由于这一时期包含了新千年开始时新加坡学校引入的某些变化，因此对展示这些变化的研究进行评估是适当的。这些研究分为五个主要的本地研究领域：规范、标准和模型；英语课程与政策；读写指导与研究；母语教学；以及向国际学生教授英语。在这篇综述中，将讨论每个研究领域的代表性工作，这将在新加坡研究的广泛历史和社会政治背景下进行。审查的结果表明，实际问题优先于理论问题，理论问题被降级为次要问题。这可以用国家在教育改革和治理中的作用及其自上而下的决策过程、全球化对教育的影响以及教育在国家种族关系管理中的作用来解释。
In this review of research in applied linguistics and language teaching and learning in Singapore, more than one hundred national publications for the period 2000–2007 will be reviewed. Since this period encompasses certain changes that were introduced in Singapore schools at the start of the new millennium, it would be appropriate to take stock of the studies that showcase these changes. These studies fall under five main areas of local research: norms, standards and models; English language curriculum and policy; reading and writing instruction and research; mother tongue teaching and learning; and the teaching of English to international students. In this review, representative work under each research area will be discussed, and this will be done within the broad historical and sociopolitical context of research in Singapore. The results of the review suggest that practical concerns assume priority over theoretical issues, which are relegated to secondary importance. This can be explained in terms of the role of the state in education reform and governance and its top–down decision-making processes, the impact of globalization on education, and the role of education in the management of race relations in the country.
