“…Research addressing the association between textese and literacy abilities has been mixed throughout the last several years. Some studies have reported a positive association (Mousavinia et al, 2014;Plester et al, 2011;Pester et al, 2009;van Dijk et al, 2016), a negative association (Dansieh, 2011;De Jong & Kemp, 2012;Drouin & Driver, 2014;Odey et al, 2014), or either a lack of association or inconclusive findings (Bernicot et al, 2014;Grace et al, 2013;Thurairaj et al, 2015;Veater et al, 2011).…”

This article reports on a systematic review of 47 empirical research papers on the relationship between textese and literacy skills. Text messaging has become the prevalent communication means for adolescent and young adults, and their increasing use of textese and its impact on their language and literacy skills has raised consistent concerns among parents, educators and the public. The review analyses the juxtaposition between the perspectives of the media and the research literature on textese and literacy. To bridge the gaps in the previous literature reviews in the area, we focus on three methodological trends, and examined how the relationship between textese and literacy has been studied. Major themes of research findings are identified and recommendations are made for future research.
