Description
This study explored the impact on English reading and writing efficacy when mainstream 1st-year students at several Japanese universities were offered choices of coloured worksheets in addition to typical white paper. While customised coloured reading backgrounds are now software industry standards, less is known about the impact on writing tasks. Students also learned how to customise their screens using accessibility tools in phones and devices. This presentation is sponsored by the JALT Research Grants Program,
Summary
Can the background colour of what people read and write on make studying easier and less physically demanding? This presentation sponsored by the JALT Research Grant Program, includes the experiences of first-year students at several Japanese universities using white and coloured paper and screens. I will also cover how to customise screens to improve readability. Making your classroom environment barrier-free and accessible is easy to do and may change lives.
