e-Research y español LE/L2: Investigar en la era digital

Abstract

Since the dawn of the Internet, technology has played a crucial role in all spheres. In particular, in the educational and research world, the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has greatly advanced, making a complete transformation in the methodologies used. Thus, virtual research environments are considered essential these days for those scholars and researchers who want to advance their investigations in the field of Spanish as a second language (SL2) or foreign language (SFL) (Allan, 2009; Mairal-Usón & Faber, 2020; Whishart & Thomas, 2017). The book e-Research y español LE/L2: Investigar en la era digital, edited by Mar Cruz Piñol (2021), deals jointly with the contributions to SL2/SFL from three diverse fields, i.e., library science, corpus linguistics, and digital editing. This publication provides a new, interdisciplinary, and international vision combining theory with case studies.
