The document discusses the subject of Applied Linguistics, which introduces students to the fields of second language acquisition and critical discourse analysis. These fields are important for language teachers to understand in order to improve their practice. Applied Linguistics also helps students examine the relationship between language and social context to develop awareness of inequalities expressed through language. The subject provides an interface between theory and practice to help solve problems related to language use in different contexts.

The Role of Error Analysis in Teaching and Learning of Second and Foreign Lan...Bahram Kazemian
The aim of this paper is to investigate errors made by second and foreign language (L2) learners so as to understand the strategies and techniques used in the process of second and foreign language learning. Error analysis is a very important area of applied linguistics as well as of second and foreign language learning. It is also a systematic method to analyze learners' errors. Errors are not always bad, rather they are crucial parts and aspects in the process of learning a language. They may provide insights into the complicated processes of language development as well as a systematic way for identifying, describing and explaining students' errors. Errors may also help to better understand the process of second and foreign language acquisition. This study tries to investigate why Pakistani ESL and Iranian EFL learners fail to produce grammatically correct sentences in English, in spite of having English as a compulsory subject at all levels in their learning institutions and schools. What are the reasons for their poor English written performance? In the present study, the writing assignments of university students as well as intermediate English learners were analyzed for the purpose of error analysis. Results of the analysis suggest that students lack grammatical accuracy in their writing and are not sure of the grammatical rules that may apply in their writing in English. The study concludes that they are highly influenced by the rules of their first language (L1).
Analysis of Students’ Errors in Summative Evaluation: A Corpora Based ResearchPremier Publishers
This study analyses undergraduate students’ errors in their summative evaluation with special emphasis on a literary subject that is taught in English. The study is an analysis of students’ corpora and uses qualitative analysis. Three questions spearheaded the discussion namely (1) what are errors that students make in their final evaluation? (2) What are the effects of these errors? (3) What can be done to help students reduce these errors? The study has a threefold significance namely showing teachers in charge of language teaching the areas that should be more emphasized; reveal students how important they should cope with these challenges to better their language use and become more proficient in a second language, if they are willing and committed to correct these errors. It was found that most of learners make similar errors related with spelling, subject verb agreements, pluralization, capitalization and misuse of prepositions.
English language hardships of the urban vernacular in indiaAtiya Khan
Millions of people in India view proficiency in English language as a survival kit to achieve upward social and economic mobility, creating pressure for many to start learning the language right from schooling. However, the ground realities tell a different story as there have been many problems with the English language learning process in vernacular-medium schools of India. Not many people are aware of the hardships faced by the vernacular-medium students studying in Indian universities and other institutes of higher education. And not many people are aware of the agony of the young job seekers who had their schooling in Indian languages and could not acquire English well. This paper reviews the evidence of English language hardships faced by vernacular-medium students in India.
Students’ Perceptions of Grammar Teaching and Learning in English Language Cl...iosrjce
The use of grammar teaching in the field of second language acquisition has been extensively
studied, but there is a lacuna in the literature, regarding the students’ perception of its importance. To
investigate this aspect, the study was conducted on a group of 15 students studying in Semester Five, in the
English Language Department of Misurata University, Libya. The students were interviewed in groups of three
with nine specific questions, and the responses were audio-taped and transcribed verbatim. The findings
revealed that although they all came from the same cultural, linguistic and educational backgrounds, they had
different perceptions regarding the form focused instruction of grammar. The information gathered is of
considerable significance to ESL teachers who intend to meet students’ needs as well as reduce conflicts caused
by different perspectives between teachers and students regarding whether or not grammar teaching should be
encouraged in the classroom.

3. Applied Linguistics
As part of the BA in English course, Applied Linguistics introduces students to
the broad scope of applied linguistics, focusing primarily on two areas: second
language acquisition and critical discourse analysis.
Both fields are vital for teachers, as they allow them to understand and therefore
improve on their professional practice. The subject offers a complementary
approach to their undergraduate education to professionals with a degree in
translation.
On the one hand, the subject develops and / or deepens the students'
understanding of the process of second language acquisition. This knowledge will
enable them to engage in solving problems related to the teaching and learning of
a second language, in order to enhance their effectiveness as teachers, to carry out
research studies, provide advice to individuals and institutions on specific aspects
of the acquisition of English, and participate fully in the academic world.

4. Applied Linguistics
With respect to critical discourse analysis, Applied Linguistics allows
students to examine the relationship between language and its social
context, creating awareness about the abuse of power through
language. This will help students to detect, create awareness of and
tackle inequalities expressed by linguistic means. This knowledge is
essential to develop critical and independent thinking, both in
language professionals and students.
In conclusion, Applied Linguistics provides students with an
interface between theory and practice in order to solve problems
related to the use of language in different contexts.
