Students' Conceptions to the Use of Tool Mediation for Reading and Vocabulary Instruction: A Case for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment

Abstract

As electronic technology and interaction advance because of the quick bursts of digital tools and texts, there is an indubitable necessity for an amalgamation of language learning with authoring tools that appreciably edify English language skills. Accordingly, thisstudy purposes to explore the conceptions of university-level learnersaproposof theuseof cloud computing tools for vocabulary and reading instruction in object-oriented learning environment. The participants of the study were students in two pre-existing classes for the experimental groups. To realize the study, two sets of post-mediation questionnaires, including 31 items for each reading and vocabulary instruction, were distributed to collect data from students.Diaries were also selected for qualitative analysis. The findings showed that the treatment (tool mediation) had a positive impact on university-level EFL learners' vocabulary learning and reading comprehension skills. Finally, educators should use their ingenuity to impart EFL language teachers and students with cloud computing tools in object-oriented schoolrooms and to design a chair-based learning technique, procedure, strategy, and policy technologically.
