Language Education and Multilingualism – The Langscape Journal Vol. 5
Multilingualism in Virtual Communication and Encounters. New Approaches to Educational Contexts

Coordinated by: José Aguilar, Stephan Breidbach, Christiane Fäcke & Marie-Françoise Narcy-Combes

The fifth volume of Langscape’s scholarly open-access, peer-reviewed online journal is devoted to the theme of "Multilingualism in Virtual Communication and Encounters. New Approaches to Educational Contexts". Whatever the professional domain that may be considered, contemporary work-related practices, habits and gestures tend to become dematerialised and virtualised. This trend seems to correlate with the ever-expanding use of digital-based technologies, in European countries (Cousteaux, 2019; Eurostat, 2020) as much as anywhere else in the world (Gurría, 2019; Wyckoff, 2019). This trend has been even more pronounced since the outbreak of the world-wide pandemic situation in 2020. As a direct result from far-reaching lockdown measures, working and studying from home has become a daily routine for billions of people across the globe and seems to be here to stay.
