    Applied Linguistics A Twenty First Century Discipline by William Grabe

    Applied Linguistics has evolved over several phases from the 1950s to today. It began focusing on areas like second language teaching but has since expanded to include language assessment, policies, multilingual societies, and classroom assessment. While Applied Linguistics draws from linguistic fields like phonology and morphology, it lacks a single research methodology and instead takes a dynamic, flexible approach. In recent decades, trends have included studies on language learning effectiveness, critical studies, language use in specific contexts, and the challenges of multilingual communities. Going forward, an interdisciplinary approach will remain important for Applied Linguistics to stay relevant given new data and technologies.

    Applied Linguistics: A Twenty-First-Century Discipline by William Grabe

    In this article, Grabe makes a brief review of the Applied Linguistics concept from its
    beginnings and the way it has gradually changed to the current state of the discipline.

    This is divided by phases, being the first one during the 1950’s during the surge of the
    concept, it covered only some areas of research such second language teaching and the
    concerns related to arts and literacy in first language.

    The second phase that was developed during the 1960’s had a more global scope and
    added practical issues like language assessment, language policies and the learning of a
    second language

    Later in the 1970’s, the focus of the discipline were the problems presented in real
    contexts rather than theoretical ones.

    Applied linguistics lacked a predetermined research method as it was developed in a


    dynamic, flexible and changing way. It took help from linguistic fields to draw conclusions,
    the linguistic sciences employed were: phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and
    discourse.

    By 1990’s and 2000’s Applied Linguistics started to have some specific trends in
    research specified by author like this:

    1. A fluctuation from language teaching to language awareness, dialogic studies


    about the effectiveness of the learning and teaching processes.
    2. Applied Linguistics started to be included in critical studies.
    3. The use of language in specific contexts, its objectives are to understand the
    effects of idiomatic expressions that weren’t understood outside the environment
    in which were used.
    4. The focus on multilingual and bilingual societies, cultures, emigrants and their
    learning and teaching problems.
    5. The assessment in the classrooms, the achievement of goals by the usage of
    activities during specific periods.

    Now it is criticized the lack of a specific disciplinary work, this has caused that
    professionals in the field to work without a standardized and organized training. This lack
    of boundaries in the Applied Linguistics has also caused the interdisciplinary exchange to
    be mandatory towards giving global and more extended conclusions.
    To conclude this interdisciplinary trend in Applied Linguistics will be continued as to
    keep on being relevant it will need to be in touch with the latest developments in the
    codification of data that the technological and globalized world has to offer.
