Abstract
Digital learning in a globalised world must transcend traditional boundaries between cultures and languages, opening up space for culturally and linguistically diverse educational experiences and simultaneously preparing students for effective communication across a wide range of media. While English may sometimes function as a lingua franca, this underplays the rich linguistic repertoires, semiotic resources and digital literacies that many learners could exploit to overcome language barriers and enhance their communication.
