%X This book explores how language learning and communication are being transformed by digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and multilingual realities. Bringing together thirteen contributions, it offers empirical findings and critical reflections on the implications of digital transformation for language education and communication research. From AI-mediated communication and multimodal learning to learner agency, spoken language development, and the ideological dimensions of online interaction, each chapter provides unique insights into the complexities and possibilities of language use in a digital multilingual world. Drawing on applied linguistics, second language acquisition, pragmatics, corpus linguistics, and discourse studies, the volume examines diverse data sources – from eye-tracking recordings and corpus analyses to social media corpora and interview data – and contexts ranging from university classrooms to digital public spaces. Together, the contributions offer an indispensable account of the evolving nature of language, learning, and communication in the twenty-first century.
