The underlying objective of Applied Linguistics is to address language-related problems and issues in everyday world. I have addressed these concerns from three complementary vantage points: Language Acquisition, Language Assessment, and Discourse analysis/functional Grammar.
We focus on the interface of these perspectives in real world situations. Other books or materials focus on individual aspects such as first language acquisition, conversation analysis, or computational modeling, but they do not systematically bring these areas together as we do.
Applied Linguistics is to provide supportive and complementary materials for the English language course through the provision of an in-depth and theoretical background to the topics covered in a more practical perspective in relation to the society in which we live.
The Topics in this blog are illustrated and discussed to give only indirect support to learning English and foreign Cultures in relation to Cambodia Cultures of which much of the topics have been discussed in the class by the lecturer.
This thus makes the section brief and easy to read with extensive association with important ideas.
It will be helpful to read the more practical parts of these articles but be aware that the extensive details are contained in the Students Course. The ideas in this articles on the other hand have been developed for this reality and will therefore serve as your guide when you read other published Applied Linguistic material as you prepare for your Examinations.
