Applied linguistics and its fields of study
This volume of EDUCIENCIA presents four articles on different topics of applied linguistics, a field of knowledge that is starting to gain terrain in Mexico. Applied linguistics was founded in Europe in the late 1950s. It is as an interdisciplinary field of research dedicated to all aspects of language use. Besides the acquisition and teaching of first and second languages, it focuses on a diversity of areas, among which are translation and interpretation; language and technology; language policy and planning; communication in the professions; communication disorders; language and law; language and the media; literacies; stylistics and rhetoric; sign language; discourse analysis; and conversational analysis; It draws on knowledge of disciplines such as linguistics, psychology, education and sociology. Because of its position at the confluence of several disciplines and at the intersection of theory and practice, applied linguistics is the site of unique intellectual developments. It speaks with multiple voices depending whether the researcher’s original background.
The first paper uses a phenomenological approach and analyzes the teaching motivation and professional satisfaction of five teachers of the National English Program for basic education. Data came from a series of in-depth interviews which were thematically analyzed. The study provides relevant information not only for English language teachers but also for education policy specialists.
The second paper in this volume reports an exploratory study by Elsa Fernanda González. She first conducted a writing assessment workshop for Mexican university teachers of English as a second language. Then she analyzed the workshop participants’ perceptions on the workshop and the on influence of workshop on their classroom assessment practices. The study is clearly contextualized and well connected to the existing international body of knowledge on second language writing assessment.
The third paper is a qualitative study by Patricia Carranza de M. It focuses on the perceptions of a group of university students on an academic mobility program formulated as part of an internationalization policy. Education policy studies rarely incorporate the views of students and this is the distinctive feature of the study reported.
The fourth paper is an essay that discusses the foundations of Cultural Studies and their implications for teaching. Cultural Studies is as an interdisciplinary field of theoretically, politically, and empirically engaged cultural analysis of the ways in which culture creates and transforms individual experiences, everyday life, social relations and power.
Academic writing is also related to this theme. A text by Diana Guadalupe Garza Puente about the development habilities to learn in university students is included. It is a proposal of contents for a course with those objectives in mind.
A review of the book Globalización, Internacionalización y Educación Comparada is included. Cesar García García has the hability to analyze the contents of every one of the sections of this volume.
In the section of documents, the Declaration of Panama has been included. This document shows the agreements and compromises of Latina America and Caribe in relation to diminishing social inequalities in the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
The EDUCIENCIA Journal and the invited scholars hope that their work inspires further discussion and contributes to the development of Applied Linguistics.

Ruth Roux Guest Editor Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas La lingüística aplicada y sus campos de estudio Este volumen de EDUCIENCIA presenta cuatro textos de lingüística aplicada, un campo de conocimiento que comienza a ganar terreno en México. La lingüística aplicada se fundó en Europa a fines de los años cincuenta. Es un campo interdisciplinario de investigación dedicado a todos los aspectos relacionados con el uso de las lenguas y el lenguaje. Además de la adquisición de la primera y la segunda lengua, aborda temas de traducción e interpretación; lenguaje y tecnología; políticas y planeación de lenguas; comunicación en las profesiones; desordenes de comunicación; lenguaje y asuntos jurídicos; lenguaje y los medios; las alfabetizaciones; estilística y retórica; lenguas de señas; análisis de discurso; y análisis conversacional. Emplea los avances de otras disciplinas como la lingüística, la psicología, la educación y la sociología. Por recibir aportaciones de varias disciplinas y estar en la intersección de la teoría y la práctica, la lingüística apli- cada es el sitio de desarrollos intelectuales únicos. Expresa diferentes voces, dependiendo de la formación original del investigador. El primer documento en este volumen utiliza un enfoque fenomenológico y analiza la motivación para la enseñanza y la satisfacción profesional de cinco docentes del Programa Nacional de Inglés en educación básica. Los datos se obtuvieron a través de una serie de entrevistas a profundidad que se analizaron temáticamente. El estudio ofrece información relevante tanto para profesores de inglés como para especialistas en política educativa. El segundo artículo reporta un estudio exploratorio de Elsa Fernanda González, quien llevó a cabo un taller de evaluación de escritura en inglés como segunda lengua para docentes universitarios mexicanos y analizó sus percepciones sobre el taller y la influencia de éste en sus prácticas evaluativas. El estudio está claramente contextualizado y relacionado a la discusión mundial actual sobre la evaluación de los aprendizajes. En tercer lugar se incluye un estudio cualitativo de Patricia Carranza de M. Examina las percepciones de un grupo de estudiantes universitarios sobre un programa de movilidad académica formulado como parte de una política de internacionalización. No todos los estudios de política educativa incorporan las voces de los estudiantes y ese es el rasgo distintivo de este trabajo. En la sección de ensayos se presenta un trabajo de Jorge Luis Mendoza Valladares. En él se discuten los fundamentos de los Estudios Culturales y sus implicaciones para la enseñanza. Estudios Culturales es un campo interdisciplinario teórico, político y empírico que investiga las formas en las que la cultura crea y transforma las experiencias individuales, la vida cotidiana, las relaciones sociales y el poder. Por su relación con la escritura académica, se incluye un texto de Diana Guadalupe Garza Puente titulado Conjugación de las habilidades para aprender en el desarrollo de los jóvenes universitarios. En este se expone una propuesta de contenidos para un curso que tiene por objetivo el desarrollo de dichas habilidades. Se incluye en este número una reseña del libro titulado Globalización, internacionalización y educación comparada, en el que Cesar García García, con habilidad, desmenuza los contenidos de cada una de las secciones de que consta el volumen. Para cerrar, en la sección de Documentos de Interés se ha incluido la Declaración de Panamá. Documento que expone los acuerdos y compromisos contraídos por los gobiernos de América Latina y el Caribe, en relación con la disminución de desigualdades sociales estructurales en el marco de la Agenda 2030. La Revista EDUCIENCIA y los autores invitados esperan que los trabajos presentados promuevan la discusión y contribuyan al desarrollo de la lingüística aplicada.
