TL;DR: The authors argue that some well-established concepts in language education should be reconfigured or even put away, as they are considered unsuitable for describing the new world linguistic order, and propose the articulation between an ethic and an emic perspective in the study of the multilingual self and thus the need to respect subjects' choices of concepts to describe the relationship they establish with the different languages of their repertoires.
Abstract: This chapter takes a critical stance towards the multilingual turn, particularly on the claim that some well-established concepts in language education should be reconfigured or even put away, as they are considered unsuitable for describing the new world linguistic order. The concept ‘mother tongue’ will come under scrutiny in order to discuss its place in the current epistemological landscape of applied linguistics and language education. I will propose the articulation between an ethic and an emic perspective in the study of the multilingual self and thus the need to respect subjects’ choices of concepts to describe the relationship they establish with the different languages of their repertoires. This articulation will prevent the ‘Chronicle of a Heuristic Death Foretold’ and will balance the power of two groups of experts—researchers and multilingual subjects—in the framing of a common conceptual landscape.

TL;DR: This article propose a model for understanding the mechanics through which both digital and non-digital academic texts are assembled, drawing on social semiotics and the material philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, and employ the concepts of interest, semiotics resources, and affordances in an effort to undo the dichotomies between digital/nondigital and social/material.
Abstract: This article engages with new research into digital academic practices in the university and argues that although significant advances have been made in understanding new literacy and media practices, a tendency remains for research both to reify “the digital” and to neglect the material dimension of text-making. In response, this article proposes a model for understanding the mechanics through which both digital and nondigital academic texts are assembled. Drawing on social semiotics and the material philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, this model employs the concepts of interest, semiotics resources, and affordances in an effort to undo the dichotomies between “digital”/“nondigital and “social”/“material.” The article concludes by reflecting on how journals such as the International Journal of Learning and Media are redefining the “conditions of possibility” of academic texts.

TL;DR: This paper examined how science literacy development, particularly vocabulary development, occurred in a sixth-grade sheltered science classroom as a part of an eight-month ethnographic study and found that although science vocabulary was embedded in the multimodal science curriculum, actual language development was limited.
Abstract: This article reports how science literacy development, particularly vocabulary development occurred in a sixth-grade sheltered science classroom as a part of an eight-month ethnographic study. Specifically, the research asks how language development occurs in the science classroom from the perspective of social semiotics. The study takes a multimodal social semiotic perspective to examine how English Learners (ELs) make meaning of science vocabulary. Qualitative methods are used and the data include video and audio recordings of science lessons, field notes, formal and informal interviews with teacher and students, and classroom artifacts. Findings demonstrate that although science vocabulary was embedded in the multimodal science curriculum, actual language development was limited. The study expands the current knowledge base for developing literacy skills in science and challenges researchers and educators to reexamine the current practice on how to incorporate effective literacy education in the content area of science.
