Introduction

The term 'Applied Linguistics' refers to somewhat different things, depending on the context. It refers most generally to the different academic areas which study practical, societal issues which have to do with language. It differs from 'general', 'theoretical', or 'structural' approaches to the study of language, or languages, which is what's typically meant by the more general term 'linguistics' (see my linguistics page).

Although for some the term Applied Linguistics includes areas of study such as sociolinguistics, the study of language in culture and society, 'Applied Linguistics' is perhaps for most people primarily "the study of language learning, language teaching and language use", but also "translation, literary stylistics, language planning and the politics of language" (definition from the web page of the Department of Applied Linguistics at Edinburgh University). For a little bit longer definition, see The Field of Linguistics: Applied Linguistics, by G. R. Tucker.

For some, Applied Linguistics is closely associated with the use of technology to aid second language learning, areas which go by the name of Computer-Aided Language Learning (CALL), or Technology-Enhanced Language Learning (TELL). Technology, however is a double edged sword.

Another innovative approach to language learning in the academy involves taking language learning beyond the language classroom and on to introduce it into to other learning activities. I have another page that has links to sources of information about this: my Languages Across the Curriculum page.

Other areas of the study of language which are sometimes included under the term "applied linguistics" include orthography, reading, bilingualism, dialectology, some areas of sociolinguistics, literature, language disorders, language testing, forensic linguistics, to name a few.

In this page I have gathered a number of links to resources, departments, journals, etc. which I have collected in my roamings through the World Wide Web and which have caught my attention for one reason or another. Most of them have to do with second language learning and teaching. I have made this page primarily for my own reference, but I would like to share it with you if you find it useful.

American Association for Applied Linguistics (AAAL)

Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée / International Association of Applied Linguistics
"Over the years there has been a shift away from the study of the application of linguistic theory to specific areas to a more problem-oriented view, where applied linguistics is seen rather as a means to help solve specific problems in society. No longer does linguistic theory tell us how we should apply this theory to learning a foreign language or to organizing language planning, but together with such disciplines as psychology, sociology, mathematics, computer science, to name but a few, applied linguistics focuses on the numerous and complex problem areas in society where language plays a role."

LANGUAGE INTERACTIVE: A Trailguide to Creating Dynamic Web Pages [CHECK IT OUT!]:
"This is intended to be a guide for language teachers on options for creating interactive Web pages for instruction. In addition to sections on program linking, JavaScript, and CGI, there is a new section on Java. Included are extensive links to learning resources and examples, including ways to create interactivity without programming. Recommendations for changes, addtions, corrections are welcome.
The purpose of the Web site is not to turn language teachers en masse into programmers, but to try to create informed Web consumers and to encourage creative thought on the new possibilies this medium offers for language instruction. Although I am the co-developer of a template-based Web authoring tool, I think the cookie-cutter approach to Web site development should only be a starting point for exploring ways this wonderful communication tool can allow us to provide language learning experiences we havn't imagined yet."

Autonomy and Independence in Language Learning, A resource for language teachers and researchers
Autonomy and independence ... imply that students take a greater degree of control over the content and methods of learning than is usual in classroom language learning contexts. Taking control over learning also implies that students have or develop the capacity to learn independently and that the institutional context in which they are learning allows them to do so. ... Autonomy is not a synonym of 'learning on your own' or 'self-study'. ... Self-directed learning does not necessarily imply 'learning without a teacher', but in self-directed learning the teacher's may become more that of a helper or counsellor." (maintained by Phil Benson at the English Centre, University of Hong Kong)
