Que valores são enfatizados para reforçar a importância do trabalho produzido pelo Department of Applied Linguistics & TESL? What is Applied Linguistics? Applied Linguistics at UCLA addresses language-related problems and issues in the everyday world. We address these concerns from three complementary vantage points: language acquisition Research in language acquisition seeks to: 1) describe interlanguage systems 2) examine underlying cognitive mechanisms that could account for these systems 3) examine the social, affective, and neurobiological factors that influence second language development 4) explore the effect of instruction on the process Additional areas of inquiry include the relationship between first and second language acquisition, and comparisons between native and nonnative linguistic systems and how speakers use them in natural discourse. Unlike first language acquisition, which appears to be inevitable and fairly uniform in all normal humans, second language learners achieve varying degrees of success. In order to explain this variability it is necessary to understand not only the neural underpinning of language, but also the neural basis for perception, attention, memory and emotion. language assessment Language assessment is concerned with the empirical investigation of theoretical questions on the one hand, and with providing useful tools for assessment in Applied Linguistics on the other. Language testing research has as its goals the formulation and empirical investigation of theories of language test performance and the demonstration of the ways in which performance on language tests is related to communicative language use in its widest sense. discourse analysis/functional grammar Discourse Analysis is concerned with how language users produce and interpret language in context. Discourse analysts research: • linguistic structures of speech acts • conversational sequences • speech activities • oral and literate registers • stance
