Speakers
Description
This presentation shares research findings comparing digital versus paper speed reading, which revealed faster reading speed and more positive student perceptions with digital texts. Presenters will outline a practical framework for implementing digital speed reading and discuss the pedagogical implications of medium choice. Attendees will learn implementation strategies and receive information about a speed reading platform that integrates with a learner management system that they will be able to use in their own teaching contexts.
Summary
This presentation explores the facilitative effects of reading medium in speed reading instruction. It presents the results of a study comparing speed reading on paper versus on a digital device, with the latter showing greater gains and appeal than the paper readings. The presenters offer practical advice for implementing a digital speed reading program in the EFL classroom, including free access to speed reading software and an accompanying learner management system.
