Abstract

This paper is designed to identify the impact of linguistics in the teaching of spoken English. The current study uses a fundamentally educational-linguistic approach as it has a basic framework in English language teaching (ELT). The study us a descriptive research and it uses the critical bibliographic literature review and the qualitative methods, In this study, the researcher focuses on secondary data, notably content analysis to come up with viable outcomes. This study will assess linguistics in the teaching of spoken English using a qualitative approach. It's fair to assume that linguistics is the biggest topic in the minds of English teachers. Linguistics is important when learning English, especially in the ELT context. Linguistics has a significant impact on English teaching. The history of the teaching of spoken English is intertwined with a variety of linguistic disciplines. In the field of linguistics, teachers are better able to convey not just the meaning and historical context of words and languages, but also their contemporary relevance. More and more, linguistics is being used in the classroom, and it's often in interdisciplinary ways. Not only do language instructors use it, but so do educators in fields like sociology, anthropology, and children's development. Understanding the rules and regulations of language, both written and spoken, and the context in which words are used is what linguistics is all about. The study of idioms and regional languages is another area that linguistics helps students with. Additionally, it helps students find the origins of expressions that have changed throughout time but may no longer have any real significance.
