APPLIED LINGUISTICS
DOING BEING APPLIED LINGUISTS: THE IMPORTANT OF EXPERIENCE
- 7 Case Studies in Applied Linguists:
1. Language-programme Evaluation
2. Literacy Acquisition
3. Pedagogical Grammar
4. Workplace Communication
5. Language and Identity
6. Assessing English as a Lingua Franca
7. Critical Pedagogy
2. SEVEN CASE STUDIES in APPLIED
LINGUIST:
1.Language-programme Evaluation
2.Literacy Acquisition
3.Pedagogical Grammar
4.Workplace Communication
5.Language and Identity
6.Assessing English as a Lingua Franca
7. Critical Pedagogy
3. 1. Language programme evaluation
The purpose to satisfaction criteria like student successes on examinations
and earning in employment.
2. Literacy Acquisition
In this case, applied linguistics contribute on published results . The study
now briefly described such as debate on literacy education. The scope of
literacy here beyond reading and writing.
3. Pedagogical Grammar
Grammatical description of a language which is intended for pedagogical
purpose, such as language teaching, syllabus design and the preparation of
teaching materials.
4. 4. Workplace communication
This use to major setting for necessary communication and use for who
study communication in the workplace which has purpose to extend
the knowledge of language genre and provide input the design of
language teaching.
5. Language and identity
To improve our understanding of who we are in our comprehension of
social interaction.
5. 6. Assessing English as a Lingua Franca
for applied linguistics, the ELF project is further evidence for the
importance of reducing emphasis in language tests on the linguistics
code.
7. Critimporical Pedagogy
a project for both teachers and students of applied linguistics in their
studying and in their research to permeating the whole field of applied
linguistics.
6. DEVELOPMENT & RESEARCH
IN APPKIED LINGUISTICS
1. Language Assessment
2. Language Planning
3. Language Teaching Curriculum
4. Second Language Acquisition
7. 1. LANGUAGE ASSESSMENT
The real problem approach in applied linguistics:
1. There is a social problem which needs resolution.
2. An applied linguist in invited as consultant
3. A solution is proposed
For example:
Someone who studied mandarin for 10 years, even they can read and write
in chinese character have a different assessment with someone who
studied mandarin for 2-3 years.
8. Research:
Language teaching and language assessment in recent years have
concentrated much of their efforts on teaching and assessment of
languages for specific purposes, for example in academic,
proffessional, occupational, medical, legal, economic, and so on.
9. 2. LANGUAGE PLANNING
Language planning is the effort to conserve a language in the country
including founding, arrangement and standardisation in target of
language.
The goverment have the right to decided:
1. The language variation as national language.
2. The construction of formal language.
3. The standardisation of spelling.
4. The new words which become national language.
10. Research:
1. Selection of form
2. Codification of form
3. Elaboration of function
4. Acceptance by the community
11. Language Teaching Curiculum
1. Development
• An explicit curriculum can be seen as a statement of the means by
which a set of objectives is to be achieved and at the same time an
operational definition of how we should understand those objectives.
• It is likely that the role of applied linguistics in curriculum
development is as much in offering new insights based, however
distantly, on theoretical underpinnings from other disciplines as in
offering ways of changing practice and method.
12. Language Teaching Curiculum
2. Research
• Research in curriculum rends to be within one specific area, such
as assessment, pedagogic grammar, background knowledge or
genre comparison, rather than overall method or content or
teaching.
• In sociolinguistics, in second-language acquisition, in curriculum
design, in language assessment, the construct of communicative
competence has been of major importance
13. Second Language Acquisition
1. Development
• The example selected to illustrate development in second-language
acquisition studies is that of the Lexical Frequency Profile, a
measure of vocabulary in the writing of second-language learners.
14. Second Language Acquisition
2. Research
• General succes of younger learners in acquiring a second-
language is true. But points out that the evidence does not
therefore mean that this advantage is the reflection in learning.
