2.    RATIONALE.

Applied Linguistics can be defined as the field within the linguistics that deals with the analysis of the acquisition of first and second languages in a wide variety of contexts, the study of language itself isolated and embedded in a context and the role language plays as an outcome of specific social problems involving language.

The problems Applied Linguistics concerns itself with are likely to be:

·         How can we carry out a pertinent and objective evaluation in a school bilingual program?

·         How can we determine the literacy levels of a whole population?

·         What are the connections between the acquisition of a first language and the learning of a second or foreign one?

·         What characterizes the interaction between the language and the socio-cultural environments?

·         How do second or foreign language learners learn another language?

All these questions make us be aware of the need to enable our future teachers of English to know and make use of principles, strategies and activities that will make them be idoneous and skillful  to teach and communicate better. The study and use of Applied Linguistics permits our students to get knowledge and strategies concerning common problems kids and teenagers have when learning/acquiring a foreign language.
