“…More interestingly, beyond the university, reading appeared more common, though not of English materials, and of different genres and modality (webtoons) (Kim, 2023). From these observations, it may be assumed that Malaysian university students' English academic reading and writing ecology is restricted to academic material.…”

“…We could see how information that students encountered is mediated through digital tools and technology. Some students may also be reading as a form of escapism, such as the reading of novels and 'webtoons' -an online comic that is potentially helpful for language learning (Kim, 2023). Moreover, students may not perceive this as reading, given that the materials read were not necessarily academic.…”

This study presents a preliminary description of university students’ ecology of academic reading and writing in English. Data was collected through three online discussion forums, where students could post and discuss about their perceptions and experiences in academic reading and writing. Using a grounded approach, data from these online forum posts were thematized. To ensure credibility of students’ responses, the third forum post was used to triangulate data from the first two forums. Findings indicated that the students had specific experiences of reading, through their mention of various academic texts assigned by their lecturers; however, academic writing was found to be rather general, given the lack of specific information and experiences found in students’ responses. Beyond the university, it was found that students may not be reading materials in the English language, and that their reading was of a variety of genres. These findings bring about the assumption that the ecology for reading and writing, especially in the English language, is confined to the educational setting. It is suggested that English language instructors could leverage on materials students encounter outside the university to encourage reading and writing in English.

Comics provide a visual, inventive, and sequential reading experience for students learning on their own. Both comics and history present narratives in chronological order. Students pay less attention to reading historical literature, requiring them to put more emphasis on their thinking skills. The author intends to determine how historical comic learning affects students’ critical thinking skills. This quasi-experimental mixed-method design included pre- and post-tests and interview group. A total of 184 students were divided evenly between two groups, each consisting of N=92 members: a control group and an experimental group. While members of the control group were taught to read textbooks through online instruction, members of the experimental group read historical comics learning media. The N-Gain test showed the treatment group’s critical thinking skills was 61.8% (Moderate) and the control group’s was 38.2% (Low). The ANOVA findings demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between historical comics learning media and critical thinking skills (F = 49.749; p = 0.000). The results indicate that using historical comics makes reading material more enjoyable, adds intrigue to stories, and improves students’ attention. In order to maximize critical thinking students’ skills, it is important to pay greater attention to the provision of engaging, interactive, and appropriate learning media.
