At ASU, Applied Linguistics is interdisicplinary. Nearly 50 faculty members participate in the program from within fourteen curricular units across the institution's four campuses. The program was developed and proposed as a partnership between the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Applied Linguistics combines research topics in the linguistic sciences and education to pursue principled approaches to language-related concerns. Applied Linguistics at ASU is focused on simultaneous and developmental bilingualism in children and adolescents.
