	The scope of applied linguistics is very wide and vague due to the fact that language is implicated not only in educational matters, but in much of our daily lives. Actually, there are a great number of important daily activities that depend on our language ability to be performed, and the others that do not, are often developed and enhanced through it. Cook (op cit), in an attempt to delimit the scope of applied linguistics, presents the following areas as the main areas of concern for applied linguists:
		
	
	writing correctly
	
	language mistakes
	 
	language and education
	
	language as a system

	Ellis (1998) explains that the social world of a teacher and of a researcher are usually very different. He argues that...
_______________operate in classrooms where they need to make instantaneous decisions regarding what and how to teach. _________________, more often than not, work in universities, where a system of rewards prizes rigorous contributions to a theoretical understanding of issues. Teachers require and seek to develop practical knowledge; researchers endeavor to advance technical knowledge. This distinction, then, encapsulates the divide that often exists between the two.

	Teacher devises strategies to solve the problem
	
	After reviewing the initial data, it¿s time to formulate a hypothesis
	
	Teacher investigates other methods for solving the same problem
