Digital literacies in foreign language education: Research, perspectives, and best practices

This volume on digital literacies aims to provide CALL/SLA scholars and foreign language teachers with a focused set of policy/position pieces and empirical studies that reflect current thinking on digital literacy/literacies from multiple perspectives (i.e., different methodological traditions and analytical frameworks) and offer recommendations for best practices in the classroom. Given the many changes in thinking and practice that have evolved over the past two decades, it now seems vital to (re)examine policies, practices, theories, and beliefs about digital literacy/literacies in foreign language education.

Topics, methods, and frameworks could include (but not be limited to) the following:

-Administrative and educational policies related to digital literacy/literacies in K12/higher education
-Analysis of learning materials and tools that promote digital literacy/literacies
-Case studies or survey research focusing on the development of digital literacy/literacies
-Digital literacy/literacies and teacher preparation/certification
-Digital literacy/literacies and proficiency
-Digital literacy/literacies and the ACTFL Standards
-Digital literacy/literacies and language acquisition research
-Learner agency, attitudes, beliefs, and/or motivation related to digital literacy/literacies
-(Re)defining digital literacy/literacies
-Socioeconomic issues (e.g., access, affordability) and implications for learners/teachers regarding digital literacy/literacies

Chapter proposals (double spaced; 2 pages) including the objectives and/or research questions, method, theoretical framework/approach, and an overview of the findings/recommendations should be submitted by June 3, 2013.
