“…Although Booktube practice is considered ‘ordinary writing’ or a ‘vernacualar literacy practice’ since it has not been shaped into the formalities of the ‘dominant practices’ (Barton and Hamilton, 1998), Boot (2020) states that the success of Booktubers relies on the enthusiasm of youngsters in transmitting or sharing the reading experiences with their peers. Also, Burnett and Merchant (2015) highlight multimodality in connection with the development of discursive practices; hence, this discursive practices of Booktubing has transformed literary development due to the youngsters reading responses (Paladines and Aliagas, 2022, pp.…”

Developments in technology have led to a rethinking of teaching delivery: instructors have found in digital devices an important way to attract students' attention. One of the many applications this technology could potentially have would be to encourage young learners to read through new multimedia products such as Web 2.0. In this article, I provide an account of teaching carried out at the University of Valencia, in the ‘Foreign Language I (English)’ module of the Primary Education degree. The activity was based on the characteristics of Booktubers with the goal of, first, promoting reading and reflection on literature and, second, to improve linguistic, communicative, literary and digital competences in EFL through the elaboration of a video review in the classroom. Thus, I have focused on the formal style from a didactic viewpoint, yet undergraduates had to read literature and write a digital review as part of the tasks to be assessed in the subject. For this purpose, the Youtube platform will be shown to be seen as an emerging source of exploration, which could be exploited as a successful didactic tool. Finally, I also set out to show the challenges both students and teacher had to face throughout the process of using the Booktuber tool.

“…Boot (2020) argues that the success of video book reviews within the community of readers is derived fundamentally from the enthusiasm with which YouTubers share their reading experiences, something which in turn highlights the importance for young readers of feeling like they belong to a reading community. This interaction collectively converts BookTubers into what Sorensen and Mara (2014) call an online community of knowledge , given that they make up a cohesive group that self‐regulates the features of the discourse and content generated among its members.…”

“…In this connection, the concept of affinity space (Gee and Hayes, 2012) has been used to explain how the digital socialisation environment works as an organiser of social dynamics in the BookTube community (Semingson et al, 2017); BookTubers take advantage of the interactive affordances offered by YouTube as a virtual space to set up a network of relationships with other cybernauts by means of the BookTube 'channel' where they post their video book reviews. Boot (2020) argues that the success of video book reviews within the community of readers is derived fundamentally from the enthusiasm with which YouTubers share their reading experiences, something which in turn highlights the importance for young readers of feeling like they belong to a reading community.

In this study, we examine various aspects of BookTubers' literacy practices, regarding the personal and social factors that lead readers to devote themselves to the BookTube community, the elements that BookTubers consider as they create and publish video book reviews and the sort of literary learning this digital literacy practice entails. For this purpose, narrative interviews were conducted with six BookTubers, five of them from Latin America and one from Spain. Their answers offer insights into the motivations and unique types of learning that come together in this literary practice. A qualitative analysis of the interviews shows that affective engagement with books is a singular feature of BookTubers' understanding of reading culture and that literary video reviews are created in a complex bricolage process where resources, skills and knowledge are mobilised and develop, both aspects also being associated with the development of an online social reading identity. In addition, an ecological approach to analysing literacy and literary learning in the BookTuber culture points to the importance of framing video book reviews as a didactic resource with considerable potential to bring new learning practices to in‐school literary education.
