L’écriture constituant une compétence complexe, elle ne devrait pas être la préoccupation que des enseignants de français, comme le soulignent certains didacticiens de cette discipline. …”

I’ll read in English if...: A glimpse into the nature of tertiary ESL reading motivation by Murad Sani, Azlina, Tengku Ariffin, Tengku Faekah, Shaik Abdullah, Sarimah

“…In Malaysian public universities, students usually function in an academic domain where two literacies, English and Bahasa Malaysia, exist side by side, often within the same classroom.This rather unique context adds a new dimension to research on the multifaceted nature of reading motivation.The main objective of this paper is to describe various aspects of motivation for reading in English among undergraduate Malaysian ESL readers, along the constructs of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, and in relation to gender and language proficiency.319 students responded to an adapted version of the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ).Although motivation for reading in English was only at moderate levels, results showed a significantly higher level of extrinsic motivation, compared with intrinsic motivation.There was a preference for English reading for reasons related to tests, compliance and recognition.These findings were consistent across proficiency groups.However, females tended to have a higher level of motivation, especially in reading for test purposes.Findings suggest a performance orientation to reading, with external rewards and a competition to score good marks playing a bigger role than personal or social reasons in reading decisions.…”

Transmedia storytelling usage of neural networks from a Universal Design for Learning perspective: A systematic review by Rafel Meyerhofer-Parra, Juan González-Martínez

“…Considering the engagement generated by these strategies, and the need to promote literacies to provide competences to a plural society, a systematic review of the literature on transmedia storytelling experiences from the perspective of universal design for learning (UD-L) using PRISMA is carried out: a priori, we start from the idea that, if UD-L is based on the principles of educational neuroscience and TST, in turn, concretizes some of the guidelines of UD-L, TST can naturally result in a didactic approach that capitalizes on educational neuroscientific knowledge in a harmonious way with the digital context in which we live. …”
