Ana Pellicer-Sánchez is a Senior Lecturer in Applied Linguistics and TESOL at the University College London, Institute of Education. Her research centres on the teaching and learning of vocabulary in a second and foreign language and makes use of eye-tracking.

• 1. Introduction to eye-tracking; 2. Choosing the equipment; 3. Practicalities of eye-tracking; 4. Researching reading; 5. Researching listening and multi-modal input; 6. Using eye-tracking in other contexts; 7. Working with the data.

'This practical guide to the application of eye-tracking technology will be key in realising the potential of this methodology to further our understanding of language processing. The book will inform and inspire researchers working across and beyond applied linguistics who are, or are considering, using eye-tracking data in their work.' Tess Fitzpatrick, Swansea University
