Marta Casla; Ana Moreno-Núñez; Florencia Alam; Celia Rosemberg – Language and Education, 2025

Pandya, Jessica Zacher; Mills, Kathy A. – Language and Education, 2019
While humour and laughter create conditions that are conducive for learning, different forms of children's humour have been given little attention in research on digital media, literacy learning, and multimodal design.

The overall aim of the study reported in this…
