Book Description
This volume on digital literacies aims to provide CALL/SLA scholars and foreign language teachers with a focused set of studies that reflect current thinking on digital literacies from multiple perspectives and to offer recommendations for best practices in the classroom. Much more than a set of skills or competencies, digital literacies are conceptualized as a way of being an engaged, responsible reflective citizen in a 21st century global community permeated by multimodal technologies. It is therefore critical that digital literacies be integrated throughout foreign/second language education, where multiple communities, identities, languages, and cultures converge.
