Global Challenges in Language Education: Rethinking Curricula for Foreign Language Classrooms in the Digital Era
Abstract
This chapter examines key issues in contemporary research and explores their implications for the foreign language curriculum. After considering the role of global competence, multilingualism and global citizenship as educational goals for today’s language learners, it discusses the impact of digitalisation on learning modalities and highlights the need to adopt multiliteracy‑oriented approaches, integrating a renewed role for literature. Some conclusions will be drawn to contribute to ongoing reflection on the future direction of the field.
