Applied Linguistics Glossary List

-

Here is the beginning of an Applied Linguistics Glossary list I made using the glossary template code from www.labodanglais.com. You can find the template in Lesson 3. Applied Linguistics is the science of how languages are used and learned, and also how they are taught. I did an MA thesis in Applied Linguistics which focused on the learning of English pronunciation.
