Call for chapters: International Approaches to Bridging the Language Gap

The 21st century is the century of information and, therefore, assuring
language learning and digital competence development for everyone is an
essential priority in the context of international education policies. This is
a book that interrogates notions of linguistic disparities around the globe.
Therefore, it has the potential to make a positive impact on the way the
literature confronts common deficit view assumptions about language and
socioeconomic class that continue to perpetuate dominant group social
hierarchies. This call for chapters frames two views. On the one hand, we will
evaluate studies which address the “language gap” as a valid concept. At the
same time, we are aware of the fact that there is also literature devoted to
illustrating why the concept of “language gap” can be questioned, thus
chapters which interrogate the validity of the ''language gap'' will be also
considered for publication.
