MOBILLE 2019
This MDPI Special Issue contains the conference proceedings of MOBILLE. Hosted by the iconic Lycée Français de New York, MOBILLE was an unprecedented international conference that gathered scholars and practitioners from all over the world in a forum about the impact of new technologies on the learning and teaching of languages. MOBILLE stands for Mobile Language Learning Experience. Language learning occurs in various environments, in dedicated regular classes as well as in those integrating language and subject matter. This Special Issue focuses on how technology—ubiquitous, pervasive and forever changing, shapes the experiences of learners, as well as teachers in primary school, secondary school and beyond. What is mobile is not just the technology, but ultimately the language learning itself.
Multimodality and Social Semiosis
Gunther Kress, one of the founders of social semiotics and multimodality, has made lasting contributions to these fields through his work in semiotics and meaning-making; power and identity; agency, design, production; and pedagogy and learning; in varied sites of transformation. This book brings together leading scholars in a variety of disciplines, including social semiotics, pedagogy, linguistics, media and communication studies, new literacy studies, ethnography, academic literacy, literary criticism and, more recently, medical/clinical education, to examine and build upon his work. This disciplinary diversity is evidence of the ways in which Kress' work has influenced and been influenced by a wide range of academic work and intellectual endeavors and how it has been used to lay foundations for theory-building and concept development in a varied yet connected range of areas. The individual contributions to the book pick up the threads of the often collaborative work of the authors with Kress; they show how these approaches were subsequently developed and discuss what future trajectories the authors see for them.

Fernsehen: Europäische Perspektiven
Für den vorliegenden zweisprachigen Band (deutsch/englisch) haben sich Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus acht europäischen Ländern mit den Produktionskontexten, der Entwicklung von neuen Genres und einer neuen Fernsehästhetik, aber auch mit Publikumsperspektiven beschäftigt, um so eine Vielfalt an europäischen Perspektiven auf das alte und gleichzeitig neue Medium Fernsehen zu bieten. Vor dem Hintergrund von Digitalisierung, Globalisierung, Second- und Multi-Screen-Umgebungen und der ständigen zeitlichen und räumlichen Verfügbarkeit der bewegten Bilder schreibt sich das Fernsehen mit seinen multiplen Facetten kontinuierlich weiter. Es reflektiert dabei aktuelle gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und verleibt diese ein. Das Fernsehen mit seiner populären Anziehungskraft ist dabei sowohl nationales als auch transnationales Phänomen. Dies ist Anlass, sich mit dem Medium Fernsehen aus einer aktuellen und europäischen Perspektive zu beschäftigen.
