In 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst to promote and accelerate the online reading process, which is currently emerging as the predominant reading behavior among learners in South Africa and the rest of the world. The aim of this paper is thus to investigate and understand the online reading preferences and challenges of Grade 8 English First Additional Language (EFAL) learners from three schools in an underdeveloped and under-resourced township located in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The paper was quantitative in nature. A survey questionnaire was used to obtain data from the purposively selected research sample that consisted of 303 Grade 8 EFAL learners, and the data were analyzed quantitatively. The findings indicated that most of the learners access online texts through their mobile phones, owing to the absence of computers both at home and at school. Furthermore, the findings showed that most of the learners experienced challenges concerning online reading in English. Subsequently, almost half of the learners who participated in the study indicated that they needed assistance when they engaged in online reading in English for academic purposes.","PeriodicalId":38273,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Literacies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67571507","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}

The surprising uptake of asynchronous, as opposed to synchronous writing support, dictated the need for a diagram or schematic description of good practices to train writing center consultants and enhance the quality of the feedback they provide to students. Drawing from several widely cited scholarly sources, we first define the notion of feedback and then summarize the criteria for providing effective feedback on student writing. These criteria inform the design of a diagram that is an intersection between the researchers’ experience of sound asynchronous online practices and literature-based practices. To justify and augment our diagram for use during tutor training and to ensure that our research and the diagram included the voices of the consultants who will eventually apply the principles inherent in the diagram in their consulting practices, the diagram and a verbal text explaining it was presented to current writing center consultants for feedback during a focus group discussion. The feedback gleaned from consultants both during and after the focus group discussion confirmed that the diagram is an effective tool that can help train writing center consultants on providing feedback during asynchronous writing center consultations.","PeriodicalId":38273,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Literacies","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67571084","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}
