Why to study Applied Linguistics?




Linguistics is the scientific study of language; Applied Linguistics is the application of the theories, methods or findings of linguistics to the solution of practical problems associated with language. Studying Applied Linguistics at graduate level leads to interesting academic and professional careers in language education generally, and second language teaching in particular.
Applied Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of research and instruction which integrates ideas from linguistics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, and languages into a distinct field focused on the learning and teaching of second languages. Applied linguists examine and work on the issues involved in the teaching and learning of a second/foreign language. Our department is a leader in the development and use of online learning.
