hello in different languages

Applied Language Studies (APPLS) combines the application of second language theories to the practice of learning, teaching, and assessing second languages.

Integrating a wide range of perspectives, APPLS is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the nature of language. APPLS encompasses a wide range of topics and concerns from theoretical perspectives on second language acquisition, to concepts of culture and identity in respect to language and learning, and methodologies for teaching and assessment.
