Dear Colleagues,

The journal Languages (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/languages), with Dr. Usha
Lakshmanan as Editor-in-Chief, invites contributions to the Special Issue
entitled ''MOBILizing Language Learning in the 21st century'' co-guest-edited
by Dr. Sonia Rocca (srocca at lfny.org), from the World Languages Department of
the Lycée Français de New York, and Dr. Bryan Smith (bryansmith at asu.edu), from
the Department of English, Arizona State University.

The term 'mobilizing' literally means 'making mobile'. It evokes images of
people being assembled for a clear purpose, for example troops being deployed
or marshaling disaster relief resources. Language learning itself is
intrinsically mobile, fluid and dynamic, changing over time and space, across
and within individuals. Technology can accentuate this mobility as portable
handheld devices help language learners overcome the spatial-temporal
boundaries of a traditional classroom. The basic question addressed by this
special issue is the following: how can mobile technology affordances 'afford'
better language learning? That is, how do these affordances embrace and
interact with the many facets of language learning to impact its processes and
outcomes? 

Potential contributors should submit a Word document with a title and a
300-word abstract to our Editorial Office (languages at mdpi.com) by 31 October,
2016. Authors of successful abstracts will be invited to submit full papers by
28 February, 2017, which will be sent out for peer review. In line with the
international diverse spirit of the journal, we encourage the submission of
papers that study the learning of languages other than English.

Languages (ISSN 2226-471X) is an international, open access scholarly journal
whose central concern is the promotion of understanding of the diverse aspects
of the world's languages along three dimensions: languages in space (including
geopolitical, sociological, psychological, neurobiological and educational
perspectives), languages in time (including evolutionary, real-time
processing, acquisitional and life-span developmental perspectives), languages
in Interaction (including perspectives from research on translation, language
mixing, cross-language and cross-modal influences and cross-cultural
communication). For further information about the journal Languages, see
