Language learning in the linguistic landscape
Dave Malinowski
I hope this message finds you all well. I'm giving a try at sending a
message out to the group here with a question about my ongoing project
on the LL as a resource for language learning (and language learning
as a resource for LL studies, the focus of my paper at the Addis Ababa
workshop).
I just discovered a new paper relevant to this area after interacting
with the authors at the AAAL conference in Boston a week ago, and
thought I'd share with you:
Leung, G. Y., & Wu, M.-H. (2012). Linguistic landscape and heritage
language literacy education: A case study of linguistic rescaling in
Philadelphia Chinatown. Written Language & Literacy, 15(1), 114–140.
along with a few others that have been helpful for me:
Cenoz, J., & Gorter, D. (2008). The linguistic landscape as an
additional source of input in second language acquisition. IRAL -
International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching,
46(3), 267–287.
Dagenais, D., Moore, D., Sabatier, C., Lamarre, P., & Armand, F.
(2009). Linguistic landscape and language awareness. In E. Shohamy &
D. Gorter (Eds.), Linguistic landscape: Expanding the scenery (pp. 253–
269). New York: Routledge.
Roberts, C., Byram, M., Barro, A., Jordan, S., & Street, B. (2001).

Shohamy, E., & Waksman, S. (2009). Linguistic landscape as an
ecological arena: Modalities, meanings, negotiations, education. In E.
Shohamy & D. Gorter (Eds.), Linguistic landscape: Expanding the
scenery (pp. 313–330). New York: Routledge.
This is only the beginning of a list of studies that might address
questions of language learning in the LL specifically, I'm sure. I'm
wondering if anyone has suggestions for others I might look at, for
innovative approaches? Of course, this question isn't bound to studies
that identify the "LL" by name; language learning in/via/through
"environmental print", "urban multilingualism", "visual public
language" etc. would all be very interesting.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations, ideas, comments.
