This book explores representations of social media in European
media discourses across different socio-historical contexts,
demonstrating how such analysis can illuminate the tension between
global and local in media discourses in today’s globalised world.
The volume draws on data from a trilingual corpus from different
editions of the free daily Metro from Finland, France, and Greece
spanning a five-year period, with a focus on Facebook and Twitter.
Adopting a French discourse analysis approach, which takes as its
point of departure the notion of “discourse as the social
practice of representing”, the book integrates qualitative and
quantitative analyses to investigate the social and political role
depictions of social media play in specific socio-historical
contexts. This approach brings to the fore both commonalities and
differences in the popularity of specific platforms and coverage of
specific news topics and hot-button issues. In so doing, the volume
elucidates the ways in which global practices become integrated and
immersed into local contexts, offering avenues for future research
on social media in news discourses. This book will be of interest
to scholars in applied linguistics, intercultural communication,
discourse analysis, media studies, and cultural studies.

This book illustrates new virtual intercultural practices for
language learning from primary to tertiary education and highlights
the transversality of these practices throughout the language
curriculum. The current English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
perspective sets the framework as a possible vector of cultural
exchanges in a variety of contexts, and from which the different
authors coming from Europe and all over the world present their
studies. The book deploys diverse educational exchanges within a
wide range of technological tools and with varied approaches to the
intercultural dimension in language learning. Through these virtual
exchanges, different languages and educational cultures come
together to create emerging communities of practice co-constructed
for the limited time-space of the collaborative projects. This
volume opens a dialogue with researchers from different backgrounds
and theoretical and methodological perspectives as technology can
no longer be apprehended without its purposeful human and semiotic
meanings and, conversely, human and semiotic meanings can no longer
be apprehended without Information and Communication Technology
(ICT). Going beyond strict polarised views on the technology or
humanistic approaches, this book presents a more nuanced,
interrelated stance and will appeal to researchers, scholars, post
graduate students, and teachers in applied linguistics, language
learning and teaching, education, information studies, cultural
studies, and intercultural communication.
