Introduction: Updating Discourse/s on Method/s

the purpose of this special issue is to reconsider a number of methods and approaches with their theoretical grounding, functioning, sociopolitical implications and potential for cross-fertilization of ideas. The contributions explore key contemporary concerns in the domain of research and language teaching and have been grouped into two main sections, discourse analysis and translation studies, the latter of which also features a study dedicated to the impact of blended (or entirely computer-based) teaching models and social media applications on English Language Teaching.
