Virtual English as a Lingua Franca: Investigating the Discourse of Digital Exchanges and Understanding Technology-Enhanced Learning

Ralston, Miriah

The edited volume Virtual English as a Lingua Franca: Investigating the Discourse of Digital Exchanges and Understanding Technology-Enhanced Learning edited by Pineda and Bosso (2023) is the first book ever to be published with a focus on the study of virtual English as a lingua franca. This collection of empirical studies seeks to present a comprehensive account of the development of intercultural communication strategies through virtual English as a lingua franca, reflecting on the ways in which we make pragmatic meaning in today’s technology-informed, globalized world. This work emphasizes analyzing transmodal, trans-semiotic, and transcultural discourse practices in online spaces, providing a counterpoint to existing English as a lingua franca (ELF) research which has leaned towards unpacking formal features of ELF communication in face-to-face interactions.
