Final Week: Call for Chapter Proposals

Language Teaching in the Linguistic Landscape

Proposal deadline: December 1, 2016

Website: https://langteachll.wordpress.com/

Editors:

David Malinowski, Yale University
Hiram Maxim, Emory University
Sébastien Dubreil, Carnegie Mellon University

Introduction and scope:

With the continued growth of research on linguistic landscape in fields such
as sociolinguistics and language policy, interest in the possibilities of
linguistic landscape for fostering language development as well as culture and
literacy learning has also been on the rise. Studies such as Cenoz and Gorter
(2008), Dagenais et al. (2009), and Rowland (2013) have suggested ways to use
the diverse texts and textual practices of public spaces for pedagogical
purposes as varied as vocabulary development, pragmatic competence, and
critical language awareness.

However, as global flows and superdiverse conditions have come to redefine
relationships of people, place, and language (e.g., Blommaert, 2010; Pennycook
& Otsuji, 2015) there is an imperative for L2 educators and learners to answer
Leander and Sheehy’s (2004) call for the “spatialization” of language/literacy
education, and to engage with notions of geographical locations as culturally
charged and contested spaces of top-down and bottom-up meaning-making
practices.

This edited volume seeks to take up this call for a spatialized approach, both
illuminating the potential of the linguistic landscape to address
long-standing challenges in language and literacy pedagogy, and mobilizing
research on teaching and learning to expand the theoretical and methodological
repertoires of linguistic landscape research. We invite chapter proposals
grounded in teaching and learning practice that address the aforementioned
aspects of the topic. Potential guiding questions could include, but are not
limited to, the following:

- How can the LL serve as a site for implementing a pedagogy of
multiliteracies (New London Group, 1996; Cope & Kalantzis, 2015)?
- How can the LL be approached to address recent concerns of Second Language
Acquisition (e.g., symbolic competence; multimodality; transdisciplinarity)?
- What opportunities does LL-based language and literacy instruction offer for
opening the classroom to the epistemological stances and research practices of
other disciplines?
- How can language learning in the LL be assessed, and what new assessment
approaches and practices does teaching in the LL encourage?
- How can teaching in and through the LL reduce the perceived remoteness of
the target language for the L2 teacher and learner?
- How can the LL become a productive site for community- and project-based
learning?
- How can the LL serve as a context for overcoming the division between
language and content instruction in second, heritage, and world language (L2)
classrooms?
- How can instructional technologies and/or social pedagogies be leveraged to
engage with the LL for language developmental purposes?

Submission Instructions:

The editors welcome proposal submissions by December 1, 2016. Proposals should
contain the following information:

- Proposed chapter title
- Author name(s) and affiliation(s)
- 300-500 word chapter overview
- 50-100 word biography for each author
- Optional: 1-2 embedded images (please keep overall file size to a minimum)

Proposals should be saved as a single Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx), text
(.txt), or .PDF file, and emailed as attachments to langteachLL at gmail.com.
Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by January 15, 2017.

This volume has been discussed in detail with an internationally reputable
publisher. Following the selection of proposals, a full book proposal will be
sent to the publisher. Upon acceptance, chapter authors will be sent detailed
guidelines, including specifications for images and other multimedia. Authors
will be given approximately 10 months to contribute full chapters of
approximately 8,000 words. Chapters must be original, and should not be
submitted for publication elsewhere. All chapters will be double-blind peer
reviewed (contributors may also be asked to review).

Please send all inquiries to the editors at langteachLL at gmail.com.
