found: Linguistic Society of America Applied Linguistics website, Apr. 26, 2016(The term 'applied linguistics' refers to a broad range of activities which involve solving some language-related problem or addressing some language-related concern; the governing board of AILA [Association Internationale de Linguistique Appliquée] describes applied linguistics "as a means to help solve specific problems in society ... applied linguistics focuses on the numerous and complex areas in society in which language plays a role"; following the adoption of English as the working language for all international flight communication by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), some applied linguists concerned themselves with understanding the kinds of linguistic problems that occur when pilots or flight engineers from varying backgrounds communicate using a nonnative language and how to better train them to communicate in English more effectively; some applied linguists are concerned with helping planners and legislators in countries develop and implement a language policy (e.g. planners are working in South Africa to specify and to further develop roles in education and government not only for English and Afrikaans but also for the other nine indigenous languages) or in helping groups develop scripts, materials, and literacy programs for previously unwritten languages (e.g. for many of the 850+ indigenous languages of Papua New Guinea); other applied linguists have been concerned with developing the most effective programs possible to help adult newcomers to the United States or other countries, many of whom have limited if any prior education, develop literacy in the languages which they will need for survival and for occupational purposes. Other topics currently of concern to applied linguists are the broad issue of the optimal role of the mother tongue in the education of culturally and linguistically diverse students, the language of persuasion and politics, developing effective tools and programs for interpretation and translation, and language testing and evaluation)
found: American Association for Applied Linguistics website, Apr. 26, 2016:About applied linguistics (Applied Linguistics is an interdisciplinary field of inquiry that addresses a broad range of language-related issues in order to understand their roles in the lives of individuals and conditions in society. It draws on a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches from various disciplines--from the humanities to the social and natural sciences--as it develops its own knowledge-base about language, its users and uses, and their underlying social and material conditions.)

Applied linguistics : history and definition, via his Academia website, viewed on Apr. 26, 2016(All applied fields disciplines develop because of the need to provide training in newly appearing technical and professional occupation. This implies that the relationship between theoretical linguistics and applied linguistics should put applied linguistics in the first position and theoretical linguistics in the second position. By this sequence, theoretical linguistics will respond to the questions raised by applied linguistics. For example, if a problem is faced in the area of error analysis, the reference will be second language acquisition.)
