Working Title: Bridging across languages and cultures in everyday lives: new roles for changing scenarios<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Full research articles (8000 words maximum, all inclusive). Up to eight
\narticles may be admitted however we will prioritize quality over quantity.
\n\u2022 Short reports of pedagogic practices related to intercultural
\ncommunication (3000 to 5000 words maximum, all inclusive). Up to four
\nreports may be admitted. Again, we will prioritize quality over quantity.<\/p>\n

\nTheme of the Special Issue:
\nIn this age of communication revolution and intense globalization there is a\u00a0growing expectation that everyone be conversant in more than one language and\u00a0familiar and comfortable with multicultural contexts. As languages and cultures\u00a0come into contact -driven by conflicts, migration, media and the Internet,\u00a0transnational capitalism and many other factors- more and more individuals find\u00a0themselves in the role of mediating between diverse languages and cultures in
\ntheir daily lives. These may be professionals in fields as varied as health services,\u00a0travel agents, interpreters, shopkeepers, teachers, workers at multinational\u00a0companies or NGO workers as well as young, multilingual children and youth\u00a0acting as language and culture mediators between their family and society\u00a0(known as \u2018language brokers\u2019).<\/p>\n

In a world of transcultural \u2018mash-ups\u2019, multilingual rap and multi-party\u00a0videoconferencing apps for cellphones, there is a need for a theoretical shift\u00a0towards an understanding of \u2018languaging\u2019 and \u2018culturing\u2019 as transformative\u00a0practices involving social activities that go between and beyond \u2018fixed\u2019 and\u00a0separate systems; practices that take place in the interstices of languages and\u00a0cultures where new meanings and new understandings can emerge.\u00a0Along these lines, the articles should demonstrate critical engagement with the\u00a0notion of mediating between cultures and languages. We are interested in\u00a0research articles and pedagogical reports that:
\n\u2022 explore the role of technology in bridging between diverse languages and\u00a0cultures;
\n\u2022 explore the role of \u2018broker\u2019 in cross-cultural situations, including growing\u00a0instances of \u2018child language brokers\u2019;
\n\u2022 promote understanding of how language brokering is perceived by\u00a0researchers and practitioners from cross-cultural situations;
\n\u2022 provide a critique of existing analytical models of culture and language\u00a0mediating practices that integrate current theories of language and\u00a0intercultural communication;
\n\u2022 discuss ways in which research into language and culture mediation can\u00a0inform teachers\u2019 praxis.<\/p>\n

\nThe submitted texts should follow the author instructions on the journal\u00a0website.\u00a0All submitted texts, including the pedagogical reports, upon passing preliminary\u00a0review and acceptance by the editors, will be blind peer reviewed. Please do not\u00a0send partial drafts or outlines for Special Editors\u2019 opinions on the feasibility for\u00a0publication, only send completed articles.\u00a0Texts must be written in English although data that is in other languages can be\u00a0included, with a proper description and if possible, translation of the relevant\u00a0content.<\/p>\n
