Subject: CfP Languages Special Issue ''Language Practices in English Classrooms – from Primary School to Higher Education''

 
English is taught in classrooms across the globe to learners of all ages, from
very young learners in primary school to older learners who have reached
retirement and occupy their time in the so-called third age by studying
English. Further, depending on the (national) context as well as researchers’
preferred theoretical approaches to teaching and learning, English is
sometimes described as a foreign language (EFL), a second language (ESL), or
an additional language (EAL) in the literature. In this Special Issue, we aim
to collect papers on the topic of Language Practices in English Classrooms.
That is, language practices is the common core of all contributions. We
welcome both empirical and conceptual papers and are open to different
theoretical frameworks and methodologies, as long as the focus is on language
practices in the English classroom (regardless of preferred ‘label’ for
English). We are interested in studies that examine language practices in
English classrooms with learners of different ages and in different contexts.
Further, we welcome studies that investigate practices in classrooms at all
levels of education that may be linguistically homogenous, but also language
practices in classrooms that are more linguistically diverse (multilingual
English classrooms). Moreover, we welcome papers that study teachers’ (or
learners’) beliefs or ideologies that underpin practices, as long as beliefs
and ideologies are discussed in relation to English classroom practices.
Methodological approaches can include qualitative studies (for example,
linguistic ethnographies, conversation analysis, interviews, or video-based
language research), quantitative studies (for example, analyzing language
practices with the help of quantifiable measures, including classroom-based
testing and assessment practices, and intervention studies), and mixed-methods
studies (for example, studies that draw on both survey data and qualitative
classroom data). Theoretically-oriented papers should offer a solid conceptual
discussion targeting classroom practices and the teaching/learning of English,
and may include language policy. Thus, for this Special Issue, we seek
proposals that specifically target language practices in English (EFL, ESL,
EAL) classrooms. 

Topics could cover, but are not limited to:
- Primary/secondary school English classroom practices
- English teaching practices in higher education
- Language use in English classrooms
- Classroom-based assessment and testing (formative and summative)
- Language practices in monolingual/multilingual English classrooms
- Teachers’ (or learners’) beliefs about language practices
- Oral interaction and language play in English classrooms
- Teaching English grammar/pronunciation/vocabulary/phraseology/formulaic
language
- Focus on form in English classrooms
- Language practices in the course of an English lesson
(introduction/lesson/end)
- Pedagogical approaches to English language teaching
- Translanguaging/multilingual practices (including code-switching)
- Language and culture in the English classroom
- Learner voices about language practices in the English classroom
- ICT for teaching/learning, including CALL and game-based teaching and
learning
- Task-based language learning in English classrooms

Contributors should submit a word document with a title, a 300-word abstract,
and a short 50-word bio to our Editorial Office (languages at mdpi.com) by 1
June, 2021. Authors of successful abstracts will be invited to submit full
papers by 31 October, 2021, which will be sent out for double-blind peer
review. In line with the international diverse spirit of Languages, we
encourage the submission of papers that study English language classrooms
across the globe.
