Abstract

The rapid shift to digital learning media has sparked debate over which medium students prefer and understand better for reading. Digital texts provide easier access and convenience; however, studies increasingly indicate cognitive costs associated with such Reading for deeper processing. This study explores university students’ attitudes and preferences toward digital versus print Reading, with a particular focus on the attitudes and life experiences associated with each format. Using a mixed-methods design, questionnaire data were gathered from 62 ELLs and supported by semi-structured interviews with several participants. The results support a clear preference for printed text, especially when reading for prolonged periods and annotating. Surveyed students are not alone in reporting that concentration, comprehension, and memory retention all improve when reading from printed rather than digital materials because of extraneous cognitive load; dual-processing theories suggest that more extraneous mental effort may be required in a written rather than a digital environment. However, the research suggests that students find digital texts convenient for Reading preparation and for flexible contributions to seminar discussion. Differences among these perceptions highlight the interaction among cognitive, affective, and situational factors that influence Reading preferences. The research concludes that the two formats have complementary roles; however, hard copy remains preferred for extended academic Reading. Pedagogical implications: Students can benefit from format-specific Reading approaches in order to maximize their gains.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of translanguaging pedagogy in multilingual English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms, focusing on its influence on student identity construction, strategic language use, and academic achievement. Through a literature-based approach, this research synthesizes findings from previous empirical and theoretical studies to analyze how translanguaging functions as an instructional paradigm that validates learners’ linguistic repertoires and promotes more equitable learning environments. The review reveals that translanguaging supports positive identity affirmation by enabling students to draw on their full linguistic resources, thus fostering a sense of belonging and reducing linguistic anxiety. In terms of strategy use, existing studies demonstrate that translanguaging enhances metalinguistic awareness, deepens comprehension, and facilitates flexible language negotiation practices that strengthen communicative competence. The literature also shows that the integration of translanguaging practices contributes to improved academic achievement, particularly through scaffolding complex tasks and enhancing engagement in multilingual settings. Overall, the synthesis highlights that translanguaging pedagogy serves as a transformative framework for multilingual ELT classrooms by bridging linguistic diversity with instructional effectiveness, thereby supporting learners’ holistic linguistic and academic development.
