Abstract

The goal of this study is to illustrate the affordances mediated by digital socio-literacy practices of university-level EFL learners engaging in collaborative reading of texts from an ecological perspective. For this purpose, a total of 38 first-year undergraduate students taking a compulsory EFL course in Turkey participated in the research. Data collected from learners' digital annotations on a digital annotation tool (DAT) and reflective papers were qualitatively analyzed. As a result, the construct of affordance was operationalized in an EFL digital social reading context through indicators derived from learners' annotations. The findings based on student-reported data showed that digital collaborative reading practices had contextual, social, and linguistic affordances for EFL learners. Following the discussion of the findings, the study invites future research to examine L2 learners' practices in a DAT-mediated environment in relation to affordances for specific language areas such as grammar and writing.

数字社交阅读对英语学习者的启示:生态学的视角

本研究的目的是从生态学的角度说明数字社会素养实践对大学英语学习者协作阅读文本的辅助作用。为此，共有38名在土耳其学习英语必修课程的一年级本科生参与了这项研究。从学习者在数字注释工具(DAT)上的数字注释和反思性论文中收集的数据进行定性分析。结果表明，在英语数字社会阅读语境中，可视性的构建是通过学习者标注的指标来实现的。基于学生报告数据的研究结果表明，数字协作阅读练习对英语学习者具有语境、社会和语言上的启示作用。在对研究结果进行讨论之后，该研究邀请未来的研究来检查第二语言学习者在dat介导的环境中与特定语言领域(如语法和写作)的启示性有关的实践。

期刊介绍： The primary mission of the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL) is to provide insight and understanding into the role of innovative learning theory and practice in an increasingly mobile and pervasive technological environment. As technology enables a more seamless experience of device-supported learning worlds that may integrate mobile, embedded, augmented, and immersive technologies, researchers, professionals, and academicians may expect to see increasing interest and activity in blended approaches to learning. IJMBL brings together experts at the forefront of this field, in both technology and pedagogical practice, and assists them in the development and dissemination of new approaches to both mobile and blended learning.
