Effective methods of teaching foreign languages using typology of exercises

The work of applied linguists includes the disentanglement of this complex web of cognitive and social arrangements. Applied linguists, however, are concerned with more than answering an intriguing question. They do not spend their time grappling with this mystery in order to further their understanding of what language is all about; that is, “to further a linguistic theory”. Instead, their work is “grounded in real-world language-driven problems and concerns”, a position supported by Widdowson who says that applied linguistics is a mediating activity which “seeks to accommodate a linguistic account to other partial perspectives on language so as to arrive at a relevant reformulation of ‘real world’ problems.”
