National Standards - Local Varieties: A Cross-Linguistic Discussion on
Regional Variation in Foreign Language Studies

300-word statements of interest by Sept. 30, 2019 
Notification of acceptance by Oct. 31, 2019

Guest Editors: Julia Ruck and Naomi Shafer

One widespread tenet in FL instruction is the acceptance of a prescriptive
linguistic norm - often a codified, national, and supposedly homogeneous
standard variety - that learners should approximate to become competent
language users. Yet, the focus on one dominant standard variety raises
questions for the study of languages whose use is not limited to the territory
of one nation-state and for which several (non-)codified norms exist (e.g.,
English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, …). In
some cases, this has led to a hegemonic situation of inequality in which one
variety is given preferential status in FL studies whereas other varieties may
be treated as inferior and/or exotic deviances. While there are concepts for
several different languages that aim to challenge these inequalities by
promoting regional varieties in FL instruction (e.g., World Englishes,
Francophonie, DACH-Prinzip, …), there is yet no comprehensive and comparative
cross-linguistic discussion on theoretical, empirical, and pedagogical
approaches to regional variation in FL studies.

This special issue welcomes contributions that provide a broad, critical
review on theoretical, empirical, and/or pedagogical issues associated with
the role of regional linguistic variation in FL studies. Contributions may
focus on - but are not restricted to - some of the following questions: What
are current theoretical and pedagogical approaches as well as empirical
insights concerning regional variation in FL teaching and learning? What
social, political, economic, and/or pedagogical arguments, concerns, or norms
favor certain varieties over others? What are the implications of
non-monocentric views on language for FL teaching and learning, teacher
education and training, curricular goals and assessment, language policy and
planning, etc.?

The journal Critical Multilingualism Studiesis a peer-reviewed
interdisciplinary journal of scholarship on language, multilingualism, and
related social, cultural, historical, and literary phenomena. CMS has been
publishing high quality peer-reviewed scholarship since 2012.

Contributions in any language and from any discipline or combinations of
disciplines are welcome. Statements of interest may be submitted in English,
French, or German. Manuscript submissions may be in any language.

Please send any questions about a potential contribution to the editors Julia
