2. Apply theories, principles and concepts of language, literacies and
language use in specific contexts for language and literacy acquisition
and learning in multilingual and multicultural societies.
3. Draw implications of the theories of the theories of linguistics,
psycholinguistics, and sociolinguistics to language teaching and
learning.
