However, research suggests that creating and/or processing digital texts is more complex than what has been accounted for in existing educational research. Such complexity is due to the multi-modal nature of digitally created texts. Traditionally, students are trained to work with spoken/written modes only; current TESOL curricula do not train them to understand graphic modes or how graphic modes combine with spoken/written modes to create overall meaning. This study summarizes the current research in this area and suggests that a multi-modal classroom approach is necessary for students/teachers to improve the creation and comprehension of digital texts.
