<p>What are the best programs for undergrad study of applied linguistics? Right now I'm planning on becoming an English language teacher in an Asian country like Korea so I want to study language and development of it. But I'm also looking at a possible international studies major becuase I'm also interested in the social sciences/history and would like to be able to weave in language with that.</p>
