This book explores representations of social media in European media discourses across different socio-historical contexts, demonstrating how such analysis can illuminate the tension between global and local in media discourses in today’s globalised world. The volume draws on data from a trilingual corpus from different editions of the free daily Metro from Finland, France, and Greece spanning a five-year period, with a focus on Facebook and Twitter. Adopting a French discourse analysis approach, which takes as its point of departure the notion of “discourse as the social practice of representing”, the book integrates qualitative and quantitative analyses to investigate the social and political role depictions of social media play in specific socio-historical contexts. This approach brings to the fore both commonalities and differences in the popularity of specific platforms and coverage of specific news topics and hot-button issues. In so doing, the volume elucidates the ways in which global practices become integrated and immersed into local contexts, offering avenues for future research on social media in news discourses. This book will be of interest to scholars in applied linguistics, intercultural communication, discourse analysis, media studies, and cultural studies.

Assessment is omnipresent and multifaceted in contemporary institutions of higher education. This collection provides a sound and revealing overview of language and (inter-)cultural assessment practices in European higher education and beyond (Australia, China and Japan). It addresses mainly the following questions: What sort of assessment is taking place? What purposes does it serve? What representations do teaching staff and learners have of assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in higher education? The chapters were first presented at the bilingual conference (English and French) Assessing language and (inter-)cultural competences in Higher Education at Turku University (Finland) in 2007.L’évaluation est un phénomène multiforme et omniprésent dans l’enseignement supérieur. Ce volume collectif propose un large éventail d’articles, qui passent en revue les pratiques d’évaluation en didactique des langues dans les systèmes éducatifs européens mais aussi en Australie, en Chine et au Japon. Les auteurs s’interrogent sur les questions suivantes : quels types d’évaluation sont mis en œuvre dans le supérieur ? Dans quels buts ? Quelles représentations les enseignants et les apprenants ont-ils de l’évaluation des compétences langagières et interculturelles ? Les textes qui constituent l’ouvrage ont été présentés au colloque intitulé Evaluation des compétences langagières et (inter-)culturelles dans l’enseignement supérieur, organisé par l’Université de Turku (Finlande) en 2007.
