Review Quotes:
"This edited volume expertly bridges theory and practice, offering critical and innovative approaches to the teaching and learning of languages, literatures, and linguistics in higher education. It covers a rich array of topics that provide educators, both experienced and novice alike, with concrete language pedagogies to meet the current needs for communication across cultures, languages, modalities, and art forms, as well as both physical and virtual spaces."
--Sunny M.C. Lau, Associate Professor in the School of Education, Bishop's University"In an era when social justice and technology mandates dominate curricular priorities in language education and indeed more broadly, this timely volume compiles a well-curated and impressive range of contributions from leading international scholars in the field. Research-informed practices and theoretical insights offer language teachers and teacher educators concrete pathways and strategies for responding to increasing complexity and intersectionality in their classrooms. Curriculum theorists and practitioners alike will benefit from the thought-provoking chapters that span issues of student engagement, language and power, and digital storytelling."
