Still, 20% of incoming freshmen are required to enroll in Developmental Literacy Education, suggesting some of these students are not necessarily academically literate. Little evidence suggests Developmental Literacy Education students have digital literacies or adapt these digital literacies to academic literacies. To inform Developmental Literacy educators, four ethnically diverse Developmental Literacy Education students completed a Digital Literacies Autobiography on their past, present, and future uses as well as their values of digital literacies. Next, they were interviewed to member-check their uses and values of digital literacies and its role in academic literacies. Our conclusions confirmed these Developmental Literacy Education students use and value digital literacies for personal literacy practices, perceived a means to help others in their social communities, but struggled with connections of digital literacies to academic literacies. Implications for additional research and using these digital literacies to build academic literacies are proposed.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2019.1638218","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46568588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings indicate students utilized oral participation when they felt comfortable as a way to demonstrate interest and keep class moving forward while students employed silent participation as a less public manner of engaging, particularly when they did not feel confident in their knowledge or understanding. These findings suggest silent participation may provide students with a lower-risk method of engaging within a new class.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2019.1638219","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48616307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, PAL programs are aimed largely at student populations who are struggling (for example, learning disabled students) or in topics where many students encounter difficulty (for example, math and natural sciences). This means that while PAL strategies have shown their effectiveness, the view from the academy is that this help is largely remedial. This paper surveys the literature and analyzes the use of PAL programs in freshman-level general education classes at a large, diverse public university with particular focus on the humanities. We conclude that using peer-assisted learning is a vibrant addition to university education, with promising possibilities for humanities education.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2019.1635371","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45873952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Evolving Perspectives in Postsecondary Reading and Learning: A Review of the Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research, 3rd Edition","authors":"Laurie B. Bauer, Connie Kendall Theado, J. Altus","doi":"10.1080/10790195.2019.1597659","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10790195.2019.1597659","url":null,"abstract":"In the Foreword of the third edition of the Handbook of College Reading and Study Strategy Research, Norman Stahl discusses the status of this work. He describes this Handbook, as well as its predecessor volumes, as a “scholarly benchmark,” “the go-to source for in-depth coverage,” and a must-read for postsecondary reading specialists, graduate students, administrators, and policy makers, as well as high school teachers. Moreover, he claims this Handbook has the potential to focus research and pedagogical efforts on upcoming changes, a similar claim Martha Maxwell (2000) made in the Foreword of the first edition. In this review, we aim to highlight the evolving perspectives in college reading and learning with a focus on topics and themes that are not only significant and worthwhile but also ever-changing and thus worthy of making this edition a landmark volume in the field of postsecondary literacy. Part I of the Handbook, edited by Eric J. Paulson, has three main foci: to highlight the historical aspects of literacy, to provide an updated framework of college reading, and to draw attention to issues related to literacy and college reading. Across the five chapters are a multitude of discussions centered around literacy and college reading. Some of the discussions include aspects related to college reading policy issues, a changing student population, and the need for a broadened and expanded understanding of literacy. There are two notable chapters in this opening section. In Chapter 2 “College Reading,” authors Eric J. Paulson and Jodi Patrick Holschuh describe why the three terrains of college reading (i.e., the foundational terrain, the theoretical terrain, and the instructional terrain) are vital to the instruction of developmental reading. In addition to this main point, Paulson and Holschuh also argue that there is a significant need for expanded postsecondary literacy instruction and support, noting that literacy should be approached as a social practice. Barbara Guzzetti and Leslie Foley make a clear case in Chapter 5 “Social Media” for how young adults have become facile users of social media and that, because Journal of College Reading and Learning, 49: 146–149, 2019 ISSN: 1079-0195 print/2332-7413 online","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2019.1597659","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49208364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While much has been reported on information literacy in language learning contexts, not much has been written about how information is experienced. This paper reports on a phenomenographic study of how tertiary level female Arab EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners conceptualize and engage with information in an undergraduate EAP (English for Academic Purposes) writing course. Working with the assumption that experience refers to the internal relationship between an individual and the world, the study investigated the variation in the meanings students assigned to information as they participated in the course. Data collected via interviews and learner reflective journals over 16 weeks suggested that students experienced information in three ways: as an already existing entity, as legitimizing academic voices, and as creating connections between self and other. The study found that students’ experiences of information were grounded in familiar local Discourses as well as the assumptions and practices which the course made available. Students were information literate within the context of this particular writing course, adopting the identities and engaging in the practices that the course presented as desirable.","PeriodicalId":37761,"journal":{"name":"Journal of College Reading and Learning","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10790195.2019.1582373","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42002862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
