Mensagem:
Read the text "Tendências atuais da pesquisa em Linguística Aplicada". After
reading the text, post in this forum arguments and conclusions that deny one of the
following misconceptions about Applied Linguistics:
Misconception 01: Applied Linguistics is an area subordinated to Linguistics, thus
not an idependent field of research.
Misconception 02: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language teaching only.
Misconception 03: While Linguistics is a theoretical science (devoted to theory
creation), Applied Linguistics is a science devoted to the application of the theories
developed in Linguistics.

Misconception 01: Applied Linguistics is an area subordinated to Linguistics, thus not an

idependent field of research.
Applied Linguistics is a part of Linguistic, but it is also an independant area, because it is
concerned not only with the morphological or syntatical structures, but also with many kinds of
areas like teaching and learning languages, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, litteracies and so
on.
Misconception 02: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language teaching only.
As it was commented above, Applied Linguistics has a great quantity of areas, that is why it is
called a multidisciplinary area of study
Misconception 03: While Linguistics is a theoretical science (devoted to theory creation), Applied
Linguistics is a science devoted to the application of the theories developed in Linguistics.
This concept is very reducted, because Applied Linguistics is not only devoted to physical works
but also with theories that contemplate different areas of study

Misconception 02: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language teaching only.

I do not agree with this statement because I realized that Applied Linguistics does not only deal
with foreign language teaching, but it also deals with the language and its use in the real world.
Applied Linguistics focuses in the problems of the use of the language and it tries to solve them.

Misconception 01: Applied Linguistics is an area subordinated to Linguistics, thus not an

idependent field of research.

Until today the applied linguistics is still classified by CNPq as subarea of linguistics, but we
know that this idea is outdated, because applied linguistics is interdisciplinary.
Applied Linguistics may be used in several areas such as: social communication, teaching,
linguistics, sociology, history, psychology , and many other areas of knowledge. It is not only the
application of linguistics or an area subordinated to Linguistics, but one subject that seeks
specific information on multiple areas of knowledge to solve a problem related to language.

Misconception 01: Applied Linguistics is an area subordinated to Linguistics, thus not an

idependent field of research.
LA was initially understood as a subfield of linguistics, LA turned only to the teaching and learning
of languages and was considered consumer of theories and not producers. In this conception,
outdated, LA is subordinate to Linguistics.
C urrently LA is considered as an interdisciplinary field, committed to the solution of human
problems arising from the different uses of language. In a vision pluri / multi / interdisciplinary
LA could be represented by an integration with many other areas in various fields in addition to
language teaching, as teaching, social communication sociology, teaching, linguistics, history,
psychology and others

Misconception 01: Applied Linguistics is an área subordinated to Linguistics, thus not an

idependent Field of research:
De acordo com Celane (1992), a ampliação dos horizontes dos estudos lingüísticos e
educacionais se deu por volta dos anos 60, crescendo assim a preocupação dos lingüistas com
o ensino de línguas, assim a LA se constituiu uma área de pesquisa. A LA foi entendida como
uma subárea da Lingüística inicialmente, voltando-se assim apenas para o ensino e
aprendizagem de línguas, mas essa já é uma concepção ultrapassada, na concepção atual a
LA é considerada uma área interdisciplinar, que está empenhada na resolução de problemas
humanos que derivam dos vários usos da linguagem, dessa forma a LA tem uma integração
com muitas outras áreas, tais como a Comunicação Social, Didática, Educação, História,
Psicologia do Desenvolvimento, entre outras.

Misconception 02: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language teaching only.
Applied Linguistics had this conception in the begining, when it was focused on languages'
teaching and learning, but nowadays it deals with the use of the language in our life. Applied
Linguistics is considered nowadays as an interdisciplinary area, and its focus is solving human
problems, that come from language, as it is said in the text. AL deals with areas like Psychology,
Social C ommunication, Sociology, Linguistics, etc.

Applied linguistics is considered as a multidisciplinary field that interacts with many other areas,
not only with linguistics. Applied linguistics and linguistic study the language, but in different
perspectives. It is a mistake to say that applied linguistics handles only with foreign language
teaching, she also handles with teacher training, teaching practice, learning technologies and
other areas. Although the applied linguistics has emerged as an attempt to apply the theories of
linguistics, it today has become much more than that, applied linguistics goes beyond the
restricted and specific study of language, she is concerned with the practical issues of language:
acquisition of second or foreign languages, language teaching, language policy, multilingualism,
cross-cultural communication, maintenance of languages, and assessment and treatment of
language difficulties.

Misconception 02: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language teaching only. How said
Marcuschi and Solomon Applied Linguistic analyzes all the problems related to formal and
structural aspects, communicative and interactive processes involving humans in their daily
activities. So it would not be possible to limit Applied Linguistics, as it encompasses a plethora of
concepts that are changing and are updated every time.

Misconception 2: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language only.

When we talk about Applied Linguistics we deal with the language in a whole concept, and it's not
related with foreign language only, but with how we use the language (not just the English
language but any language) in different situations in the real life (like educational, social or
political situations), etc...
We understand the linguistic varieties and we can relate it with the social diversities, and how the
knowledge about these situations can affect students's lives and all people involved in the
society.

When Applied Linguistics arose it was conceived as a subfield of Linguistics and today it is thus
classified by C NPq as cited Lopes-Rossi (p.4), this connection is in the fact that both have as their
object of study the language, but this object is studied by both in different ways which makes the
AL has autonomy as an independent field study. The foreign language teaching has always been
an intense area of research in Applied Linguistics and in its appearance it turned primarily to the
teaching and learning language, but because of the language is a complex system containing
several other aspects, it has become and continues to become a vast field of research dealing
not only with foreign language teaching, ie, other issues became part of the range of research in
AL in the space of language use in the social reality of speakers. For a long time AL was seen as
an attempt to application of Linguistic theories, however, AL is not a science dedicated to the
simple application of Linguistic theories. At its conception it was seen that way because it dealt
only with the teaching/learning languages, with the expansion of its field of research the LA draw
its own theories and not just consume the theories of Linguistics.

Misconception 1: We can considerate Applied Linguistic as an integration of several areas, such

as Psychology, Sociology, and the very Linguistics, focused on solving problems related to
language usage, while Linguistics is ocupied in common aspects between languages and other
systems of communication. As Moita Lopes (1996) said, "the applied linguist searches for sources
in several areas in order to clarify any issue".
Misconception 2: Although teaching and learnig languages is a constant theme in Applied
Linguistics researches, an examination of puplications of this area allows us to verify the
presence of different topics, such as genres of speech in teaching reading and writing, teacher

formation, , new technologies in teaching, discursive practices in educational settings, etc,.
According to Moita Lopes (1996) and Kleiman (1998), there's a growing concern of Applied
Linguistics in investigating problems related to the language usage and how it influences social
practices.

Misconception 02: Applied Linguistics deals with foreign language teaching only.
The text makes us see that since its first moments, Applied Linguistics studied not only foreign
language, but native language as well. Applied Linguistics has a wide range and studying the
day-to-day language and the context in which this language is in, that's not something you can
reach by only studying a foreign language. And as C elani (1998, p. 136) says, Applied Linguistics
is researching oral, reading and writing skills on both native and foreign languages.
