In the digital age of technology, the nature of the educational
system is becoming increasingly more complex and globally focused.
Technoliteracy, Discourse, and Social Practice: Frameworks and
Applications in the Digital Age utilizes a range of technologies
and multiliteracies challenging social conventions and expectations
of behavior. A defining body of research, this publication provides
unique and significant insights into the diverse approaches and
implementation of various contexts.
The field of applied linguistics covers a diverse range of research
and practice, and has developed somewhat differently in various
parts of the world due to variations in local socio-cultural
conditions, needs and issues. However, this local diversity does
not reflect a field that is incoherent, but rather one which has a
broad, shared international agenda which is invigorated by the
diversity brought to the field by local perspectives. The papers in
this volume represent some of the major global directions that
research in applied linguistics is taking and shed light on how
language is used to affect practice. The aim of this volume is to
explore some of the key methods and issues which are guiding
applied linguistics into the future through an examination of these
issues in local contexts, thereby providing a basis for
understanding the global directions the field is taking. These
directions follow two historically defined paths: those related to
educational studies and language teaching, and those related to
social issues involving language. In the volume, half the papers
focus on the former, examining issues of language teaching,
language teacher education and second language acquisition, while
the other half examine social issues related to language use,
bilingualism and multilingualism, and language policy and planning.
The collection of papers presented in this book illustrates how
these traditional themes are influenced by the rising forces of
globalisation and the use of technology, thus exemplifying both the
new and old ways in which the study of language is realised.
