Given the many changes in thinking and practice that have evolved over the past two decades, it now seems vital to (re)examine policies, practices, theories, and beliefs about digital literacy/literacies in foreign language education. Topics, methods, and frameworks could include (but not be limited to) the following: --Administrative and educational policies related to digital literacy/litercies in K-12/higher education --Analysis of learning materials and tools that promote digital literacy/literacies --Case studies or survey research focusing on the development of digital literacy/literacies --Digital literacy/literacies and teacher preparation/certification --Digital literacy/literacies and proficiency --Digital literacy/literacies and the ACTFL Standards --Digital literacy/literacies and language acquisition research --Learner agency, attitudes, beliefs, and/or motivation related to digital literacy/literacies --(Re)defining digital literacy/literacies --Socioeconomic issues (e.g., access, affordability) and implications for learners/teachers regarding digital literacy/literacies Chapter proposals (double-spaced; 2 pages) including the objectives and/or research questions, method, theoretical framework/approach, and an overview of the findings/recommendations should be submitted by June 3, 2013. (Please provide in-text citations, but no list of references is needed.) Send chapter proposals to the editors at the e-mail addresses listed above; include name(s), institutional affiliation(s), and e-mail address(es). If there is more than one author, please indicate who will be the corresponding author (i.e., the one who will be responsible for all communication with the editors).
