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 learning. It does so
through a diverse array of empirical studies of language, literacy,
and culture learning 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 learning
to the lived and rapidly changing places of the late modern
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 learned,
this volume highlights different configurations of learning spaces,
the leveraging of real-world places for critical learning, and ways
to productively ‘dislocate’ language learners 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.

A historically, spatially and methodologically rich sub-field of
sociolinguistics, Linguistic Landscapes (LL) is a rapidly evolving
area of research and study. With contributions by an international
team of experts from the USA, Europe, the UK, South Africa, Israel,
Hong Kong and Colombia, this volume is a cutting-edge,
interdisciplinary account of the most recent theoretical and
empirical developments in this area. It covers both the conceptual
tools and methodologies used to define and question, and case
studies of real-world phenomena to showcase Linguistic Landscapes
methods in action. Divided into four parts, chapters bring into
dialogue themes relating to reterritorialization practices and the
productive nature of boundaries and spaces. This book considers the
contemporary challenges facing the field, the politics and
processes of identifying and demarcating 'sites of research', and
the ethics and pedagogical applications of LL research. With
comprehensive lists of further reading, extended discussion
questions and suggestions for independent research at the end of
each chapter, this is an essential reference work for all LL
scholars and students who wish to keep abreast of the current state
of the art.

This book builds upon the growing field of Linguistic Landscape in
order to demonstrate the power of a spatialized approach to
language, culture, and literacy education as it opens classrooms
and cultivates new competencies. The chapters develop major themes,
including re-imagining language curricula, language classrooms, and
schoolscapes in dialogue with the heteroglossic discourses of the
local; developing L2 learners' symbolic, translingual competencies
through engagement with situated, multimodal texts; fostering
critical social awareness through language study in the linguistic
landscape; expanding opportunities for situated L2 reading and
writing; and cultivating language students' capacities for engaged
scholarship and research in out-of-class contexts. By exploring the
pedagogical possibilities of place-based approaches to literacy
development, this volume contributes to the reimagining of language
education through the linguistic landscape.
