The Language Learning Journal seeks papers for a special issue entitled “Video and language learning,” edited by Maribel Montero Perez and Michael Rodgers. This special issue aims to provide a comprehensive collection of papers (approximately 6000 words each) in any of the following areas: 

- L2 learning through viewing video, including aspects of language proficiency such as listening comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, etc. 
- The use and effectiveness of techniques to enhance learning from video, such as types of on-screen text (native language subtitling, captioning, etc.) 
- Empirical research on video for out-of-class learning or as part of, for instance, extensive viewing programs 
- The potential of MOOCs and flipped classroom contexts for L2 learning 
- The role of learner variables such as age, context, and proficiency level 
- The role of video characteristics such as lexical coverage and imageability 
- Methodological aspects related to measuring L2 learning from video 
- Theoretical considerations on video for L2 learning 

Methodologically, the editors especially welcome studies that are longitudinal and/or involve mixed-method data collection approaches (e.g., a combination of eye-tracking data and paper/pencil tests). For methodological or theoretical contributions, we highlight the importance of a rigorous and systematic review of the literature. 

Abstracts are due by January 15, 2018.
