Using a figured-worlds framework to explore teachers' underlying beliefs about the…

Linguistic landscape studies (LLS) involve analyzing public signs in specific areas (e.g., streets, entire cities) to reveal the socio-cultural and sociolinguistic structures present.

However, previous studies have primarily relied on traditional methods of inviting participants to sketch their language portraits on paper using pens and crayons. In this paper, we propose the use of…
