Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, v20 n1 p20-35 Apr 2020
This study examines the impact of using a digital annotation tool (DAT) on second language (L2) socialization of English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in a university-level advanced reading course. Theoretically guided by the paradigm of second language socialization (Duff, 2002) and pedagogically informed by bridging activities model (Thorne & Reinhardt, 2008), the study aims to understand the social benefits of L2 learners' collaborative reading practices in a DAT system through a variety of quantitative and qualitative research techniques. The results show that students successfully socialized into a multitude of networks and genres through hybridized communicative practices while displaying both expert and novice performances. The article concludes by calling further research in the incorporation of DAT systems into L2 teaching and learning contexts such as less commonly taught languages and populations including preservice language teachers.
