Applied Linguistics

Applied Linguistics Banner

The Applied Linguistics Concentration provides students with the tools necessary to investigate language. Students confront the questions, theories, and methods of exploring language as a system. In addition to the theoretical nature of language study, students explore the real-life implications of language for literature, English as a Second Language (ESL), composition, language development, and the social dimensions of language and linguistics.

  • ENGL 3501 Modern English Grammar
