Applied Linguistics

Applied Linguistics is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the practical application of linguistic principles to real-world issues related to language. It involves the study and analysis of language in context, with a particular emphasis on solving language-related problems or addressing language-related needs. Applied linguists may work in areas such as language teaching, translation and interpretation, language policy and planning, language assessment, and more. They use linguistic theories and methodologies to address language challenges in various domains, aiming to improve language communication, comprehension, and use in practical, everyday situations. Applied Linguistics plays a critical role in understanding and addressing language-related issues in diverse cultural and professional settings.
