</span><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">will explore CALL in the digital wilds, which encompasses informal language learning that takes places in digital spaces, communities, and networks that are independent of formal
instructional contexts. Digital technologies, such as mobile devices, and fast connectivity coupled with social networking facilities offer possibilities for unprecedented user- driven, self- and group- initiated practices that redraw models of production,
distribution, and reuse of knowledge. This can be seen, for instance, in crowdsourcing, digital activism, citizenship science, and the creative practices of online fan communities, all of which invite us to reimagine the nature of informal language learning
that can occur in digital spaces. While digitally enhanced, instructed language learning and classroom language learning research are well established fields of study, there remain fewer empirical studies of informal or beyond-the-class digital language learning.

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">For this special issue, we seek proposals that explore and deepen our understanding of CALL practices in the digital wilds, including, but not limited to, their manifestations, processes,
and outcomes (linguistic, sociocultural, cognitive, or didactic). Particularly welcome are studies which help explore the nature of self-directed learning, agency, and autonomy, as well as the tools and frameworks for understanding and analyzing the complexity
of learning in the digital wilds. We especially encourage submissions about the learning of less commonly taught languages.

</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 11.000000pt; font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'">In order to be considered for this special issue, proposals must present in-depth empirical data and report on language learning outcomes and practices in informal digital contexts. Please
note that proposals which conceptually explore digital spaces, tools, or communities without placing language learning practices as the main focus of the study fall outside the scope of this special issue.
