Reading has traditionally been considered in the secondary school curriculum within the
English subject in Spain in a way that hardly ever achieves students’ attention if they
are not naturally predisposed to it because of their tastes. It is one of the four skills
(together with writing, speaking and listening) that teachers include in their exams,
taking the shape of a short text with test or short questions to answer. However, this
adapted reading, even though easier, is often not depicting real literature and it may not
be helpful for students to actually learn through reading.
This project aims at exploring electronic literature as a resource to increase students’
motivation towards this skill. A secondary goal will be that they learn to cope with nongraded literature. In order to achieve both objectives, new technologies present
interactivity as their strongest point since this factor usually results appealing for
secondary students, and at the same time , traditional reading can be reinvented by
adding extra elements (e.g. videos or sound). By these means, students are expected to
understand the context without having to always resort to a dictionary while they are
provided with a multimodal experience.
This study will develop the issue by firstly providing an introduction and a theoretical
review that provides an account of the evolution from reading on paper (i.e. a book) to
reading on screen (i.e. digital books) and reading multimodal (i.e. electronic books). It
will also deep into the most direct positive affective factor associated, that is motivation.
After those sections, the elements that an electronic book can make use of will be
explained and four samples from renowned literary works will be analysed through a
multimodal point of view.
Once the options for materials have been considered, a teaching proposal will be
developed introducing electronic literature into the English classroom together with
expected results that could arise if it was implemented. The proposal will not only take
reading into account, but also writing and digital skills will play an important role.
Finally, some conclusions and suggestions for further research will guide the path for
future investigations on this topic. [-]
