stereotypes a truly interdisciplinary construct. This article offers a review of literature on
country and national stereotypes. It examines the origins of the construct of stereotypes
and methodologies employed to investigate it. The article also highlights gaps – both theoretical and methodological – in research on country and national stereotypes in the field
of applied linguistics. The final part of the article suggests future directions for research
on stereotypes in applied linguistics, discusses theoretical and methodological considerations for future studies on country and national stereotypes in the field and highlights
pedagogical implications that can be drawn from these studies.
