Rodney Jones answers the central question: "How does discourse
analysis enable us to understand digital practices?" addresses a
different type of digital media in each chapter demonstrates how
digital practices and the associated new technologies challenge
discourse analysts to adapt traditional analytic tools and
formulate new theories and methodologies examines digital practices
from a wide variety of approaches including textual analysis,
conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, multimodal

Narrative Inquiry in Language Teaching and Learning Research
provides an entry-level introduction to research methods using
stories, as data or as a means of presenting findings, that is
grounded in published empirical research within the field of
language teaching and learning. It discusses basic definitions and
concepts in narrative inquiry, explains how and why narrative
methods have been used in language teaching and learning research,
and outlines the different approaches and topics covered by this
research. It also examines the different ways of eliciting,
analyzing, and presenting narrative inquiry data.Narrative inquiry
offers exciting prospects for language teaching and learning
research and this book is the first focused and practical guide for
readers who are interested in understanding or carrying out
narrative studies.

The rise of global mobility has had a deep impact on the study of
urban multilingualism. Once associated with research on minority
speech communities and inner-city ethnolinguistic enclaves
(Chinatowns, Little Italies, etc), it is now concerned much more
with the use of multiple languages in diverse neighbourhoods across
the city. In this book the authors take an innovative approach that
builds on previously published work in two ways. First, it focuses
on a single city and, second, it adopts a multidisciplinary
approach to multilingualism. By examining the phenomenon of
multilingualism in a single city from a range of perspectives this
book paints a more comprehensive picture of the current dimensions
of urban multilingualism. A unique feature of this book is the
inclusion of contributions from scholars with expertise in
education, geography, media, health communication and international
studies, in addition to community practitioners. Sydney is the
largest city in Australia and, on most counts, it is also among the
most linguistically diverse cities in the world. As such it is an
ideal site for a multidisciplinary study of urban multilingualism.
The selection of 18 multidisciplinary case studies on
multilingualism in Sydney, Australia represents some of the
strongest and most innovative research on urban multilingualism in
the world today. This book examines how multilingualism permeates
institutional and everyday practice in the city, raising important
questions about what a 'multilingual city' can and should be.
This book seeks to expand the research agendas on autonomy in
language learning and teaching in diverse contexts, by examining
the present landscape of established studies, identifying research
gaps and providing practical future research directions. Based on
empirical studies, it explores research agendas in five emerging
domains: language learning and teaching in developing countries;
social censure and teacher autonomy; learner autonomy and groups;
learner autonomy and digital practice; and finally, learner
autonomy and space. In doing so, it sheds new light on the impact
of digital media, group dynamics and the application of ecological
perspectives on learner autonomy. The contributors present a novel
reconsideration of new learning affordances, and their discussion
of spatial dimensions provides much needed expansion in the field.
This book will have international appeal and provide an invaluable
resource for students and scholars of second language learning and
higher education, as well as teacher educators. Chapter 2 of this
