“…In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, increased use of technology has become a new normal in language and literacy education. At the same time, there are ongoing crises of disinformation, online misconduct, and new invisible forms of social exclusion and marginalisation (Cope & Kalantzis, 2023;Dooly & Darvin, 2022). Such crises lay bare problems in students' critical digital literacies with not only discerning the veracity of what they read and write online but also creating counter-narratives of marginalised communities who are often misrepresented in social media (Lee, 2023;Mirra & Garcia, 2020).…”

Research on digital multimodal composing (DMC) in second language (L2) classrooms has proliferated considerably in recent years, to a large extent in response to the changing digital and multimodal communication landscape. This article offers a research agenda on DMC in L2 classrooms. We begin with a theoretically oriented overview of DMC scholarship. We then examine seven research themes for future research inquiry, from which we draw seven research tasks. The seven themes are: (1) the effectiveness of DMC for L2 writing development; (2) DMC task design; (3) L2 teacher education/training for implementing DMC; (4) feedback practice for DMC; (5) DMC assessment; (6) collaborative DMC as a translanguaging space; and (7) the deployment of DMC for critical digital literacies. Throughout the article, we refer to interdisciplinary scholarship and methods from multimodality, L2 writing, composition studies, new literacy studies, language teacher education, and computer-assisted language learning. The seven research tasks represent what we see as the essential next steps for understanding DMC, which is a young domain that has great potential to advance L2 language and literacy education in the digital age.

“…These educational reforms can empower youth to navigate the digital landscape with discernment and foster resilience in the face of societal pressures. Furthermore, the integration of mental health education into school curricula can help destigmatize mental health issues, encouraging early intervention and a culture of openness [6].…”

The rapid evolution of societal and cultural dynamics in the contemporary era presents both significant challenges and remarkable opportunities for the guidance of youth ideology and the promotion of mental health among young people. The pervasive influence of technology, especially social media, has transformed the way youth interact with the world and each other, impacting their ideological development and psychological well-being. This article examines the multifaceted challenges faced by today's youth, including the pressure of social media, the conflict between traditional values and modern norms, and the increased prevalence of mental health issues. Concurrently, it explores the opportunities that arise from these challenges—opportunities for leveraging technology for mental health support, the role of progressive education in shaping ideology, and the potential for family and community support structures to provide a nurturing environment. Through a review of diverse case studies, from the Finnish education system to digital platforms for mental health, this article provides insights into successful strategies and programs that address the complex needs of contemporary youth. These examples highlight the importance of a comprehensive and adaptive approach, emphasizing the need for collaboration across various sectors to foster a generation that is not only ideologically sound but also mentally resilient.

“…What constitutes the material extends not only to the devices and physical environments but also the design, the architecture, and algorithms (Jones, 2019) of various online spaces. These sociotechnical structures (Darvin, 2021; Dooly & Darvin, in press) are relevant to an understanding of digital literacies and online communicative competence because they have the power to shape interactions online and, therefore, have implications for the digital literacies and online communicative competence that learners have to develop. Paying attention to the design of platforms is also important in developing critical digital literacy as it indexes the intentions of social media companies, app designers, and software developers.…”

“…In a recent special issue of L2 Journal on machine translation, Vinall and Hellmich (2022) not only explore the pedagogical implications of this technology but also reflect on how it reshapes context, culture, and pragmatics of language use. As AI tools process the data we produce—the words and images we upload on social media and the information we share online—how do these technologies position us in new ways, interpreting and reifying notions of race, gender, and social class (Dooly & Darvin, in press)? How can critical digital literacies contribute to the decolonization of knowledge and the construction of anti‐oppressive pedagogies for language learning?…”
