Executive Summary of the Malaysian Association of Applied Linguistics

Applied linguistics represents a discipline engaged in the efforts to continuously better conceptualize language and communication. The field focuses on identifying, analysing and solving problems of language use, by employing theories, methods and results of existing work, and by developing theoretical frameworks and methodologies.
