The digital world opens up a vast number of spaces such as immersive virtual reality, digital book corners, and discourses marked by hashtags. In this volume, we argue that newly emerging digital spaces and textualities should play a more central role in English language education, as their multimodality and interactivity opens up manifold opportunities for engaging with different levels of meaning within the target language. Theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions offer insights into current research projects and teaching concepts.

Mental health is a growing concern in today's society, and schools are emerging as a focal point for addressing this issue. Taking this as a starting point, this volume aims to explore the relevance of curricula and competencies, texts and materials, (digital) culture and communication, and teacher education in the context of mental health and English language education. It brings together scholars from various fields who discuss the relationship between mental health issues and English as a foreign language learning from a variety of theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented perspectives.
