Abstract

The goal of learning a second or foreign language nowadays is different from that of the past. The study of a second language has now focused more on the communicative function which will enable learners to use the target language effectively in real situations. The role of second or foreign language teachers, therefore, has changed. They are no longer a mere source of linguistic knowledge. Rather, they should view themselves as applied linguists and try to use the knowledge from associated fields to try to tackle language-related problems and hence make teaching/ learning more effective. Second language teachers, therefore, are expected to have more diverse knowledge and responsibilities.
