English Teaching and Learning calls for submissions to a special issue with the theme “Towards Pluriliteracies Approaches to Language Teaching and Learning: Theories and Principles for Transformative Practices”.

This special issue will focus on exploring different perspectives concerning a movement which is gradually gaining momentum in the field of language teaching and learning pedagogies. The pluriliteracies ‘shift’ which encompasses more holistic and ecological interpretations of language learning, suggests that new developments in understanding the interface between language and learning can enrich the quality of the student experience and can lead to deeper learning. Whilst literacies approaches, especially in first language learning, are well developed in different national curricula across the globe, more recent research has focused on the importance of literacies across subjects and across languages, impacting significantly on language learning in CLIL and multilingual environments. Unravelling what a pluriliteracies approach offers English language learning and teaching therefore raises issues not only about the roles of language in contexts where a second or additional language is used, but essentially interprets language learning itself as a subject discipline. From this perspective, progression towards textual fluency reimagines not only the content of language classrooms as multimodal learning spaces but also foregrounds critical literacies, global citizenship, cultural consciousness, and identities for meaning making. We are looking therefore for submissions which explore further theoretical interpretations, implications, and practices of pluriliteracies in the English language classroom at any age or stage.
