Abstract:

This book explores how fan practices, such as fan art and fan fiction,
and linguistic landscapes – the language surrounding us in everyday
contexts – can be integrated into foreign language teaching through
the innovative Fictional Linguistic Landscapes pedagogy. It offers
practical models for educators to use multimodal fan activities to
enhance second language learning, including designing semiotic
landscapes, soundscapes, skinscapes and social mediascapes. Drawing on
popular fictional universes like Dune, it illustrates how educators
can utilize fan practices to foster deeper language learning, critical
thinking and intercultural awareness. The result is an innovative
pedagogical approach that blends entertainment, social media and
popular culture with language learning in a way that promises to
engage and inspire students. The book represents a step forward in EFL
and TESOL pedagogy and demonstrates how theoretical advances can be
used in ways that make language learning relevant to today’s students.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
