Introduction: Updating Discourse/s on Method/s

Abstract

This special issue Updating Discourse/s on Method/s aims to reconsider a number of methods and approaches with their theoretical grounding, functioning, socio-political implications and potential for cross-fertilization of ideas. The contributions explore key contemporary concerns in the domain of research and language teaching and have been grouped into two main sections, discourse analysis and translation studies, the latter of which also features a study dedicated to the impact of blended (or entirely computer-based) teaching models and social media applications on English Language Teaching.
