Applied linguistics provides essential insights for effective language teacher education by linking theory and classroom practice. It equips teachers with knowledge of language acquisition, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and assessment, enabling them to address diverse learner needs. Integrating applied linguistics into teacher preparation fosters reflective practice, critical thinking, and evidence-based pedagogy. This approach not only enhances teachers’ professional competence but also strengthens their ability to adapt to multilingual and multicultural classrooms, ultimately improving language learning outcomes. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/50
