What is the importance of research in language development?

Research plays a crucial role in various aspects of living. It is how we discover


and gains new knowledge and concepts, address timely and relevant key questions,
and help us develop our full-packed sense as rational being. Research can spark
debate, challenge assumptions, reinforce beliefs, and raise new questions. When
various constituencies outside of schools, as well as society as a whole, understand
how research can help people improve their language skills and become sociolinguistic
individuals, the potential for research to generate conversations and portray complexity
becomes extremely important.
In my point of thinking, to discover, understand, and comprehend the foundations
of one’s language we must be vigilant with this through researching, finding answers to
questions that welcomes us to the foundations of language which helps us have the
core idea of how one’s language develops, acquired, and enriched. Being a second
language learner there are lots of questions that run in my mind, “How can we protect
our language especially those endangered languages?”, “How can we enrich it?”. How
can we develop our language literacy?”, “How can we acquire our second languages?”
are some of the questions most of us tends to ask, and by research, we can find
answers, connect studies from different authors, give our ideas and knowledge for the
benefit of everyone, and apply steps that are recommended for us to do from various
studies about language development. Basically, research gives us knowledge and
concepts about language development which is very beneficial to us who are
linguistically able to utilize various languages.
In today’s current situation where globalization takes its place, language research
is important where endangered languages are now on its critical level. Language
development is not just about how we enrich and acquire specific language, but it is
also about how we protect languages because that’s part of being a sociolinguistic
being. Linguistics has long included the study of endangered languages. This was
originally intended to enlighten and improve the emerging subject of Linguistics, but it
has come to be recognized as a critical resource for addressing the concerning and
rising trend of language loss over time. Furthermore, research can influence people's
attitudes toward language and raise awareness of the dangers of language in our
communities and society as a whole. To ensure that the communities with whom they
work benefit from the research, there is some guidance on how to present language
development ideas that will be useful to them. Language study can aid in the
preservation, reintroduction, restoration, and reclaiming of an endangered language into
a community, which can be beneficial.
