Applied linguistics

Applied Linguistics explores how language is used in real-world situations and its impact on society. This guide connects students with databases and journals relevant to second language acquisition, language teaching (TESOL), sociolinguistics and discourse analysis. You will find links to corpora (databases of real language use), testing materials and resources for researching language policy.

The guide helps you navigate the intersection of linguistics, education and psychology. Use these resources to support your research into how languages are learned, taught and used in various social contexts, and to understand the practical applications of linguistic theory.
