ABSTRACT
Applied Linguistic is usually referred to as the branch of linguistic involved with sensible
application of language studies, as an example language teaching, translation, and speech
therapy. English language is a global language. Learning English improves the individual’s
status and opportunities in education, technology, global trades, and business. Linguistic theories
of the past twenty years barely mentioned by applied linguistics. And general level draw three

three contribution, the applied linguist is a jack of all trades, the applied linguist is ago-between
not enforce a servant not a master, sheer description of any areas linguistic as such but
descriptive linguistic. Applied linguistics is sometimes used to refer to second language
acquisition, but these are distinct fields, in that second language acquisition involves more
theoretical study of the system of language, whereas applied linguistics concerns itself more
with teaching and learning.
