Book Description

This open access volume offers valuable new perspectives on the question of how mobility, locatedness and immersion in the physical world can enhance second language teaching and leaing. It does so through a diverse array of empirical studies of language, literacy, and culture leaing in the linguistic landscape of visible and audible public discourse. Written from conceptually rich and disciplinarily varied perspectives, its ten chapters address methodological and practical problems of relating language leaing to the lived and rapidly changing places of the late mode world. Whether it is within the four walls of a school, in a nearby multilingual neighborhood, in a virtual telecollaborative space, or in any other location where languages may be leaed, this volume highlights different configurations of leaing spaces, the leveraging of real-world places for critical leaing, and ways to productively ‘dislocate’ language leaers from preconceived notions and standardized experiences. Together, these elements create conditions for a language and literacy pedagogy that can be said to be robustly spatialized:linguistically and culturally complex, geographically situated, historically informed, dialogically realized, and socially engaged.
