Topik: Electronic books; Reading; Young Learners Fulltext: THE NEW LITERACY OF THE DIGITAL AGE.pdf (6.95MB) Isi artikel Young Learners' motivation to read and the texts they choose to read impact on their reading achievement and willingness to engage with reading activities. Therefore, using electronic books in the classroom is one of the strategies to increase students’ motivation to read since there is the software that enables eBooks to be readable on personal devices and usually provides features such as full text searching, customizable font size, mark-up, or even note taking (Lucia, 2001). Moreover, the content of an eBook may be supplemented with multimedia, which assures a greater variety of information to be displayed simultaneously. ”Hyperlinks can be used to bring the student, while reading the text, to a number of educational resources that cannot be included in the text of the course, such as multimedia materials, interactive exercises, quizzes, discussions, etc” (Mazza, 2008:2). Hence, eBooks may serve as learning strategy especially among young learners who are comfortable with the technology. This article will describe the effective implementation of eBook in the classroom, the extent to which electronic books support young learners’ literacy development and the advantages and disadvantages of using eBooks in classroom.
