{"title":"Playing By Their Rules: Why Issues of Capital (Should) Influence Digital Game-Based Language Learning in Schools","authors":"Carolyn Blume","doi":"10.1558/CJ.35099","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/CJ.35099","url":null,"abstract":"While digital gameplaying is increasingly recognized for its potential for language learning, its use among English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers in both leisure and pedagogical contexts is comparatively meagre. Assumptions regarding the appropriate nature of schooling on the one hand and appropriate leisure pursuits on the other mediate beliefs about digital gaming to generate skepticism of gameplaying among many educators. Their devaluation of digital game-based language learning (DGBLL) has implications for language learning, not just in terms of skills and attitudes, but in regard to the development of linguistic capital. The purpose of this article is to use the concept of habitus to examine the reasons why educators marginalize DGBLL and the implications of such pedagogic decisions on the development of linguistic capital. Given the emergent empirical base, this contribution adopts a theoretical approach to contextualize observed trends. The article concludes by discussing the importance of teacher-mediated DGBLL for reasons of access and equity before recommending ways of integrating DGBLL to achieve these goals.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90048896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"A Critical Look at the Bigger Picture: Macro-Level Discourses of Language and Technology in the United States","authors":"Emily A. Hellmich","doi":"10.1558/CJ.35022","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/CJ.35022","url":null,"abstract":"Despite its numerous benefits and potentialities for language learning and teaching, digital technology can also play a role in creating and maintaining inequality (Kern, 2014; Selwyn, 2013). While critical CALL often focuses on micro-level issues and contexts, macro-level perspectives, including discourses, are also essential to consider (Helm, 2015): From ecological and language-as-discourse perspectives, macro-level discourses have the potential to impact and shape CALL practices and contexts (Blin, 2016; Blommaert, 2005). Using critical discourse analysis methods (Blommaert, 2005; Fairclough, 2001), this article takes the 2017 American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) report, \"America's Languages: Investing in Language Education for the 21st Century,\" as a window into macro-level discourses of language and technology in American society today. Findings reveal a series of interrelated frames and scales that, taken together, suggest a neoliberal discourse that positioned language, technology, and ultimately CALL as tools to enhance national competitiveness on a global marketplace. The article concludes with implications of these findings for the CALL field.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83592444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Promoting Social Justice With CALL","authors":"Jesse Gleason, Ruslan Suvorov","doi":"10.1558/CJ.37162","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1558/CJ.37162","url":null,"abstract":"Over the past 20 years, there have been marked changes in the ways that technology has been used for language learning and teaching. As a result of emerging technologies and their pedagogical applications in the field of applied linguistics, studies in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) have grown exponentially in number and scope. As movement toward integrative CALL, where technological implantation “in every classroom, on every desk, in every bag” (Bax, 2003, p. 21) surely still varies by context, more attention must be paid to the role of CALL in (re)producing issues of power, ideology, and injustice. In light of the affordances that technology provides, including potential access to “open” and “free” tools for language learning (e.g., MOOCs), a small body of critical CALL research has developed (Helm, Bradley, Guarda, & Thouësny, 2015). Critical CALL draws attention to how such resources can work to ameliorate or, in some cases, exacerbate problems of discrimination, marginalization, and inequity (Andrejevic, 2007; Menezes de Souza, 2015). As Ortega (2005) contends, the cornerstones of any scientific paradigm must not only include ontology, epistemology, and methodology, but also axiology; that is, CALL researchers must seek to ask ourselves the question: Who is our research serving? More recently, Ortega (2017) has argued that","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85020267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noticeably lacking in these endeavors are investigations of language learners’ social engagement with others in online spaces to define and negotiate their own meanings of language and language learning. To fill this gap, this study investigated the language ideologies disseminated in a Korean blog that has become a collaborative online English-learning community. Focusing on this blog owner’s ideas and her followers’ responses, I explored the language ideologies disseminated and negotiated in conversations on language learning and using. This is part of a larger virtual ethnographic study conducted over the past three years.

Findings suggest that the Korean bloggers subscribe to monolingual ideologies because they are acutely aware of the ideological contexts in Korea surrounding English and are critical about their own language learning and using practices.

Some of these practices are particular to replication research, but most are more general and are found throughout the field. I describe in this paper two studies that are fabricated but that resemble much of what is found in published second language research. Each study corresponds to and contains a set of methodological issues. Following each study, I address the issues they illustrate, providing comments and suggestions for how the analyses could be modified to produce greater replicability and/or replicational value. I conclude with a summary of suggestions for quantitative reforms related to improving replication research and quantitative practices more generally in CALL and applied linguistics.","PeriodicalId":46819,"journal":{"name":"CALICO Journal","volume":"96 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83366914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
