Emerging Perspective in English Language, Literature and Communication

The intersection of English language teaching, literary studies, and communication studies in light of the ongoing digital revolution. Using the results of a comprehensive literature review (2021-2026) and comparative analysis, the paper outlines three key emerging paradigms: artificial intelligence in language teaching, the digital and environmental turns in literary theory, and the transition from consequence to emergence in communication studies. Mixed-methodology, including both qualitative content analysis and quantitative bibliometric indicators, will be used in order to delineate the intersections. It is found that while each field has its unique pattern of technological integration, there is an important common focus on ethical governance, learner/user agency, and interdisciplinary cooperation. It is argued that in order to ensure sustainable development of the respective fields, it is crucial to introduce critical digital literacy into all three areas along with supportive institutional structures for AI implementation.

Abstract

The intersection of English language teaching, literary studies, and communication studies in light of the ongoing digital revolution. Using the results of a comprehensive literature review (2021-2026) and comparative analysis, the paper outlines three key emerging paradigms: artificial intelligence in language teaching, the digital and environmental turns in literary theory, and the transition from consequence to emergence in communication studies. Mixed-methodology, including both qualitative content analysis and quantitative bibliometric indicators, will be used in order to delineate the intersections. It is found that while each field has its unique pattern of technological integration, there is an important common focus on ethical governance, learner/user agency, and interdisciplinary cooperation. It is argued that in order to ensure sustainable development of the respective fields, it is crucial to introduce critical digital literacy into all three areas along with supportive institutional structures for AI implementation.
