This paper begins by noting the way in which social processes, sociology, anthropology, and media studies recently seem to have replaced pedagogy, linguistics, and psychology as the major preoccupations in British applied linguistics (AL). To try to make sense of this shift, it first borrows Street's (1984) notions of 'autonomous' and 'ideological' models of literacy and extends them to other branches of applied linguistics. It then tries to situate this move from 'autonomous' to 'ideological' applied linguistics within two fairly recent political processes: (a) the switch of focus from overseas to UK language education occurring in the late 1980s; (b) the more general redefinition and critique of liberalism. With the grounds for an ideological (socio-cultural/ecological) interpretation of applied linguistics established, the paper then sketches out four positions that AL research can occupy in an emerging political order characterized by free-market economics and cultural authoritarianism: service to the state, competition on the market, independent analysis and critique, and new social movements. It illustrates and discusses the implications of these options for applied linguistics in general and for AL PhDs in particular.
