Building on the Digital Literacies Project and the associated Second Language Digital Literacies Symposium (L2DL) hosted by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL), the L2ML symposium will bring together educators, practitioners, and researchers, who share common interests in exploring the role of multimodality in contexts of second or multiple language and culture learning. This free, virtual event includes a series of digital presentations and discussions, with three invited talks by experts in the fields of multimodal language and literacy education. Recorded presentations will be available to view from April 17th, with asynchronous discussion leading up to the live events on April 21st and 22nd.
