The difference on this article compared to (Mora et al, 2016) that studied on how language may as a bridge to win a game for the participants (Sebastián, Tyrone, Michael, and Daniel) and their methods used were both autoethnographic and ethnographic within by doing fieldnotes, taking screenshots of gaming exchanges, and interviews, while (Vazquez-Calvo, 2018) he focused on the process of translation from Spanish to English by the participant namely "Selo" who conducted a translation from game repertoires and shared to gamer communities that the virtual ethnography research design was proposed by taking from interviews, online observation and screencast videos of the one subject is "Selo" who is a young gamer, whose active life online and literacy repertoire where he spends large amounts of his spare time playing…”

Abstract The digital or virtual atmosphere in the education field today begins to spread which includes in the area of language learning. In line with that one, a research design is proposed in a similar context that is Digital Ethnography (DE). The research aims are to reveal and explore the detail of DE and how it is implemented in research. The method used in this study is qualitative, and the data is collected from 10 articles from reputable journals that discuss DE. The collected data were categorized based on the year, title, author, purpose, method result and discussion, and conclusion, afterward they were analyzed and presented descriptively. The findings of this study showed that DE can be applied in various topic particularly in language learning research. The implication of this study DE can be as one of the options as the research design related to language learning in a digital or virtual context.

“…With geographical boundaries no longer a limitation, many Colombian gamers choose to access English-speaking global servers while playing firstperson shooter and massive multiplayer titles like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft. Through often daily verbal and text-based communications with in-game teammates, players develop second language literacies through polylanguaging: "the use of languages as communicative resources even if one is not fully proficient in said languages" (Mora et al, 2019(Mora et al, , p. 2825.…”

“…Although past generations have felt the effects of these socioculturally mediated resources on local and regional scales, technological advancements have expanded their reach to global realms. Mora et al (2019) capture this in research on the second language literacies acquired through community gaming practices. With geographical boundaries no longer a limitation, many Colombian gamers choose to access English-speaking global servers while playing first-person shooter and massive multiplayer titles like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft .…”

Playful pluralities: exploring play and playful literacies across ages, spaces and places

Purpose Play and playful literacies shape essential spaces for belonging, connection, transformation and joy: from embodied immersions into fantasy worlds, to the creation of interest-led groups overflowing with varied knowledges and identities, and the disruption of societal hierarchies through roleplayed restorying. Yet, theorizations delineating playful possibilities – while plentiful and varied – are often rigidly constructed in relation to neoliberally/biopolitically motivated notions of value, use and productivity. Imbued with forms of modern power, play’s full flourishing has been regulated and quelled, particularly within the realm of education. This study, a literature review, seeks to defy this fatuous notion of a frivolous play. Design/methodology/approach Drawing from research within the fields of literacy and educational studies, the author centers playful methods commonly trivialized in contemporary discourse, including in global out-of-school spaces (e.g. gaming clubs, improvisational theater groups), with popular culture texts (e.g. picture books, digital fanfiction) and for older youth and adults. Findings This exploration of play’s potential across lifespans, formal/informal learning ecologies and worldwide contexts foregrounds its intrinsic nature and essential entwining with socio-culturally/materially mediated forms of knowledge and communication. Originality/value With a unique focus on the playful literacies emerging across ages, spaces and places, this review advocates a turn toward the imaginative, messy, uncontrollable worlds of play in future research and practice.

This chapter will introduce a pedagogical framework to engage with literacy practices in early childhood contexts and English language learners (ELLs), based on the commonalities across three research studies carried out in three schools in Medellín, Colombia. In this chapter, we argue that developing strong pedagogical proposals for PreK-5 spaces entails breaking the traditional compartmentalization of children's practices between in or out of school and carefully integrating multimodality and critical literacy in our curricula. Besides the explanation of our pedagogical framework and its link to our current research, the chapter also provides some insights for early childhood teachers working with ELLs around the world to draw from these frameworks and transform their curricula. Although language context may differ, there are developmental commonalities across the board that practitioners and teacher educators can draw from, regardless of whether the children are in English-speaking contexts or not.
