The Cloud-powered Hybrid Learning Process to Enhance Digital Natives’ Analytical Reading Skills

Abstract

Analytical reading is a necessary cognitive skill for advancing to other skills required in the digital age. Thailand is focused on the instructional development and use of digital media to enhance the digital natives' analytical reading skills, which will assist learners of all ages in effectively and quickly adapting to changes in the digital environment. After the COVID-19 pandemic situation, educational institutions in Thailand have begun to embrace a hybrid learning approach like never before. The limitations of the existing learning process for boosting digital natives' analytical reading skills are the lack of integration between reading techniques, hybrid pedagogies, and emerging learning technologies to enhance learners' seamless learning experiences. Thus, this study aims to propose the Cloudpowered Hybrid Learning process (Cp-HL process) to enhance digital natives' analytical reading skills. This study consisted of two main stages in the research methodology: 1) learning process development; and 2) learning process evaluation. The developed Cp-HL process had four main learning phases: (1) preparation for hybrid learning; (2) presentation for interactive learning;(3) practice with analytical reading; and (4) progress reports on analytical reading skills. All the experts agreed that the newly developed Cp-HL process performed extremely well in terms of overall suitability.

The Implication of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Technique on English Reading Comprehension for Madrasah Aliyah Students

“…The researchers also assume that the use of Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) can also improve students speaking skills, helping students to concentrate on learning to speak (Napaporn et al, 2023). The use of media images also helps students to be enthusiastic and compose sentences to prepare to speak and reduce their panic feeling.…”

Revolutionizing Education: Navigating the New Landscape Post-COVID-19: A Scoping Review

“…(Shrivastava, 2023) This study provides insights into the role of artificial intelligence in education for educational institutions seeking to adapt to technological advancements. (Napaporn et al, 2023) This study highlights the importance of incorporating technology into teaching methods to meet the changing needs of learners in the digital age while also addressing the limitations that can impede their progress. (ElSayary, 2023) Developing the teachers' digital competencies will benefit the students' use of technology and prepare them for future jobs and challenges.…”

The interplay between the Internet-based reading resources and learner-to-learner interactions in blended language learning

“…Recent years have seen numerous changes influenced by computer-assisted language learning (CALL) to facilitate language learning processes in language education, including English language teaching (ELT) (Jones & Sharma, 2021;Phoocharoensil, 2022;Sakulprasertsri et al, 2021;Tomlinson, 2019). Various forms of instruction involving the use of digital technology, especially the Internet technology, have been proposed and implemented with a view to creating new learning experiences for language learners, such as the flipped classroom (Johnson & Marsh, 2016), language massive open online courses (LMOOCs) (Bárcena & Martín-Monje, 2014;Jitpaisarnwattana et al, 2021), and blended or hybrid learning (Garrison & Vaughan, 2008;Graham, 2006;Jones & Sharma, 2021;Kenny & Newcombe, 2011;McCarthy, 2016;Napaporn et al, 2023;Stein & Graham, 2020). These new forms of teacher-led rather than technology-led pedagogy with the use of technology in ELT instructions are believed not only to meet the needs of language learners but also to support individuals in achieving learning outcomes while preparing them to become continued, lifelong learners, which is vital to language learning in the digital era.…”
