Call for Papers: Special issue of CALICO Journal
Exploring the Interface of Interlanguage (L2) Pragmatics and Digital Spaces
Guest editors: Julie Sykes and Marta Gonzalez-Lloret 

His special issue of the CALICO journal is intended to explore the interface of Interlanguage (L2) Pragmatics and digital technologies. Specifically, it seeks to expand theoretical horizons, report on targeted empirical research, and explore innovative approaches to L2 pragmatics in formal instructional contexts and informal learning in digitally-mediated spaces. The editors encourage authors to take a micro- and/or macro-level approach to L2 pragmatics in their analyses and encourage the expansion of research populations beyond traditional, university-level classrooms. Empirical studies are particularly encouraged and critical review pieces are also welcome.

The editors seek original submissions that represent diverse approaches to interlanguage pragmatics and digital technologies. Approaches may include (but are not limited to):

● New research methodologies in Interlanguage (L2) Pragmatics
● Multilingual pragmatic behavior of digital spaces
● L2 pragmatics in multimodal technological contexts
● Innovative approaches to learning Interlanguage (L2) pragmatics
● The design and empirical investigation of digital tools for the teaching and learning of L2 pragmatics
● Digital networks and Interlanguage (L2) pragmatics
● Pragmatic assessment with digital tools

Each author will be expected to provide a concise description of their theoretical framework, methodological approach (as relevant to the types of the article), critical research findings, implications for the design, implementation, and evaluation of digital tools for the teaching and learning of Interlanguage (L2) Pragmatics.

Abstracts are due by December 1, 2018.
