Comments about Bachelor of Arts in Applied Language Studies - At the institution - Ottawa - Ontario

• Objectives
  Applied Language Studies develops and applies theories to solve everyday problems involving language. As an interdisciplinary field encompassing work in Applied Linguistics, Writing Studies, Discourse Studies, and Literacy Studies, ALS focuses on language-related issues such as the following: * Language Teaching and Learning: How are languages taught and learned? How are language curricula best developed and implemented? * Language Assessment: How are language competencies evaluated and language tests designed? * Writing: How is writing used in academic, workplace, and community settings to construct knowledge, accomplish learning, and perform other functions? How can writing best be taught and learned in these settings? * Literacies: How do people use texts in their everyday activities in society? How can access to literacies be broadened? * Discourse Analysis: How is language—both spoken and written—used in specific social contexts? And how are texts in other symbol systems—such as photographs and drawings—used in similar contexts? * Language in Society: How does language influence society, and how is it influenced by society? What role does language play in creating social identities, social structures, and relations of power? * Language and the Professions: For what purposes do professionals use language in their work? What makes professional communication in a first or a second language more effective? * Bilingual Education: How can educational institutions support bilingual development? What makes a bilingual education program effective? * Language Policy and Planning: How do government policies influence language practices, as for instance with measures to protect endangered languages?
