 01 EARLY ORIENTATION
● The term ‘Applied Linguistic’ emerged in
tandem with, and in response to, the
changing international linguistic landscape
after World war II
● At first its concerns were almost exclusively
with TEFL
● The nature of the subject might be
caricatured as follows:

Linguists knew about Applied linguists made Language learning was

language this knowledge available improved
to English language

teachers
 02 SUBSEQUENT CHANGES
● The issue of scope
● The relationship with linguistic
● New attitudes and ideas among professionals, especially
teachers
● Tensions at all inferfaces of the old threeway
relationship between linguists, applied linguists and
language professionals

 03 SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISTION (SLA)
In the 1970s, SLA research concerned itself with:

● Explaining and describing the process of acquiring a second

language
● The ways in which it is affected by external factors
● The degree of transfer from the first language
● Variation between learners or within one learner
● Why the process of acquiring a second language, is so often
regarded as ‘incomplete’
● Ways of improving language teahing an learning
OM

 Points of criticism
● The frequent of assumption of a universalist
model of the kind developed for first
language acquisition in Chomskyan
linguistics

● The frequent implication that

monolingualism is the normal starting point
for language learners

language use which can be revealed by systematic ● Corpus linguistics provide information about
analysis of such corpora ‘attestedness’

 04 CORPUS LINGUISTICS

The fact that something occurs frequently ● Applications of corpus linguistics are far
in a corpus does not necessarily mean that wider than language teaching
it is processed as a ready-made unit by each
individual user ● It has revolutionized Lexicography

Neverthless, the prominence of collocation ● It can be use to establish the authorship of a

does strongly sugest a greater role for document
memory in leaguage processing

 05 BEING APPLIED
SLA is predominatly psychological in ● SLA and Corpus linguistics lay claim to having
orientation, focused upon how language uncovered objective scientific facts about
develops in the mind language

Corpus linguistics is predominantly social, SLA about learning, Corpus linguistics about use
studying the language behavior of people
who are already proficient in language use ● Both assume that such findings should be the
main factor in language-related decisions

 06 Critical Applied Linguistic (CALx)
The main principles: Criticism of (CALx):
● It could be engaged with social change and ● CALx’s claims to political commitment are
action extremely
● Combat injustice and inequality ● It is not clear what is new about CALx other
● Incorporate in critical political theory into than the word ‘critical’
applied linguistics
● It should be self-critical

 07 ‘Post-modern’ applied linguistics

Like SLA and Corpus linguistics, CALx starts with

a ‘grand narrative’ both about

The abstractions of linguistics, and the experience of

language

A set of abstract actual problem

OM

 07 ‘Post modern’ applied linguistics
In the spirit os post-modernism, this approach:

Abandons ‘grand narratives’ altogether and relocates the impetus for

action within the problem itself

Those with language-related problems should seek advice from other

academic disciplines or outside the academic field

Applied linguistics should not be an autonomous discipline, instead, it

should be a responsive discipline

The direction of influence : Academic Linguistis applied linguists practitioners

 07 ‘Post modern’ applied linguistics
Criticism of this approach:
● The danger to intellectual iquiryposed by
any activity which is driven by purely
practical criteria
● The approach may be exploited by
employers, corporations and government
whose interest is in various self-seeking
agendas of their own

 08 A harder future : mediation
Applied linguistics is concerned with the most emotive and
important issues which are global but manifested In personal
decision-making too

Applied linguistics
Academic researchers Professionall expediency

Interdisciplinarity as though applied linguistic existed only at

the intersection of other fields
