About the Language & New Media SIG
We take 'new media' to represent the wide range of communicative contexts often referred to as 'digital discourse' and 'computer-mediated communication' (CMC). We are interested in all aspects of language use that occur in new media environments.
Objectives
We invite membership from researchers with interests in language and new media from different disciplines, and from a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives. The Special Interest Group's discussions take place on our Facebook group page.

Objectives
- To build a community of scholars, especially although not exclusively based in the United Kingdom, who are contributing to work in the field of CMC.
- To develop work in CMC by providing opportunities to present new research, formulating guidelines for research practices, sharing and developing methods for the collection and analysis of computer-mediated data.
- To support new researchers who are developing applied linguistic research in the field of CMC.
- To develop and make available case studies which stimulate innovative uses of new media in teaching language and applied linguistics.
