"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."--Clea A. Schmidt, Professor in
the Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba
