On the matter of matter in second language education: A “mixed” review of current research
Abstract With the increasing attention provided to sociomaterial and new materialist perspectives in second language (L2) education, this article pursues the question of what these approaches have co‐produced in the existing research. This “mixed” review combines elements of qualitative metasynthesis and diffractive literature review, drawing on ...
