Ways of teaching modern languages as second or additional languages are changing due to new
domains of interaction, new technologies, and new global cultures. The journal seeks to provide an innovative forum to present research that addresses the challenges and opportunities provided to teachers and learners by digital media and also present other innovative classroom practices in the various disciplines such as linguistics, literature and culture.

Nordic Journal of Modern Language Methodology is an international journal targeting teachers, scholars, teacher trainers and student teachers as its readership. It has two sections. Section A will contain peer-reviewed articles that address the theoretical and methodological debates within the field; section B seeks contributions from teachers and teacher trainers about hands-on experiences in the classroom. Articles may be in English, French, German, Norwegian and Spanish.

The deadline for submitting articles for issue no 1 is: 1 February, 2012.
