See the L2ML site for bios and presentation details.
The symposium will culminate in a panel discussion, where participants will consider future directions for multimodal scholarship and pedagogical practice in second language and multilingualism studies.
Symposium organizers are accepting proposals for virtual presentations--research studies, theoretical think pieces, and exemplary practices are all equally welcome. Contributions that respond to the following guiding questions are particularly encouraged:
1) What models, frameworks, and concepts shape current understandings of multimodality and its potential roles in the learning of second or additional languages? What are the benefits and limits of different ways of understanding second language multimodal literacies?
2) How can educators best integrate and acknowledge multimodal dimensions of languaging and language learning? What findings and new directions does current research offer us for answering this question?
3) What modalities have been underrepresented in second language education and what possible roles might they play?
