Gender differences between the reading of digital and printed text were explored in this study. Predictors of digital propensity were investigated along with gender differences in the context of digital propensity and perceptions and preferences toward the reading of digital and printed text. Findings strengthened results reported in existing…

This study examined the possible impact of instructor scaffolding on peer review in online college freshman composition courses. The instruction, Collaborative Multimedia Peer Review, was developed from the social cognitive model for sequential skill acquisition in order to prompt students to use feedback that would promote self-efficacy and…

Geometry flat side material is crucial subject for students in senior high school. As the development of technology that increases very rapidly, it provides a chance to develop Media Interactive Learning (MPI) such as Course Lab MPI 2.4. This study was conducted to create a valid interactive multimedia teaching material, practical, and effective.…

Over the past decade, digital multimodal composing (DMMC) in the language learning context has received growing attention. DMMC entails teaching writing as the social practice of meaning making using various semiotic tools (Siegal, 2012). Despite its potential benefits as a way to teach a meaning-making process in the current digitalized era, much…

The present study aims to explore an embodied approach to students' deep learning; specifically, how deep learning is interactively achieved through teachers' languaging dynamics and multimodal representations in interactive lecturing in L2 higher education (HE) contexts. The purpose is to understand how an instructor's embodied and multimodal…

This paper presents the outcome of an action research project designed to develop a new pedagogical approach named Curriculum 2.0, after DiNucci's Web 2.0. The project was motivated by recent developments in translation and interpreting (T/I) teaching methods and by a vision to promote a genuine student-centred pedagogy based on the crowd creation…

This study is a critical analysis of a low-stakes in-house English as a Second Language (ESL) and English literacy test from a local program in a large city in the southwestern United States. From a critical multimodal social semiotic perspective (Kress G. Multimodality: A social semiotic approach to contemporary communication. Routledge, 2010;…

Metacognition is regarded as a retrospective skill promoting learners' learning performance, deep thinking, and academic well-being. Stimulated Recall (SR) is regarded as a reliable approach to inspiring learners' metacognition in the classroom. However, the outbreak of COVID-19, causing widespread class suspension, may impair the effect of SR on…

Despite the increasing evidence illustrating the benefits teachers can reap from incorporating digital multimodal composing (DMC) into classrooms through collaborative action research (CAR), scant attention has been given to how teachers collaborate with each other, what challenges they may encounter and how they cope with such challenges in CAR.…

This article provides a microscopic view of learners' first encounters with multimodal texts in their primary EFL classrooms. It is argued that multimodal texts create opportunities for language development in the primary EFL classroom: they offer different access points for comprehension, invite participation, and motivate repeated practice so…
