Meeting Description:

With the ever-growing significance and diversification of media, there is a
call to challenge, renegotiate, and expand on current discourses that have
formulated media literacy as an integral objective in 21st century education.
Foreign language education is increasingly responding to this development by
updating and transforming EFL pedagogies. This conference will engage with the
epistemological and critical foundations of media literacy in digital and
multimodal manifestations, and how these then interact with foreign language
education in practice across varied contexts.
