The study of Applied Linguistics will give you a deeper understanding of the real-life applications of linguistics. This is increasingly vital in an ever globalised and linguistically diverse world.
Applied Linguistics combines research into second language acquisition and the theoretical study of linguistics with sociocultural and socioeconomic issues that can affect how different students learn a new language.
Studying Applied Linguistics is an important step in developing your teaching skills and improving your cross-cultural communication abilities.
