The purpose of this research was to examine and evaluate the impact that technology served in the development of reading and motivation, and its aid in increasing academic achievement for secondary level students. In doing this, numerous forms of technology were evaluated and analyzed to understand their effects. Computer assisted programs, online learning classrooms, electronic books, and video games were paired with standard curriculum to explore the positive or negative influence technology exhibited upon the achievement of students and their ability to grasp and practice literacy concepts and skills. Through the research, a conclusion stands clear that technology does provide a positive effect on students' academic achievement in attaining literacy skills, as well as, plays an important role in keeping students' interest and increasing motivation in the classroom to push forward and master a skill. Because of gathered evidence that supports technology's effectiveness with increasing and improving reading development and motivation in classroom, future action research will be created to examine which types and forms of technology uses are most beneficial to student achievement, as well as, what type of training and background do teachers need to be provided with in order to run successful classrooms that provide effective technological teaching and use to maximize student gains in reading.

This book is an exploration of the desirability and feasibility of English Medium Instruction (EMI) in specific university settings in South East Asia. There is an increasing trend in many universities in Asia, as elsewhere in the world, to introduce ‘international’ academic programmes taught through the medium of English. Despite the rapidity of this development, there is a dearth of empirical research that investigates the opportunities and challenges across a range of specific contexts. This volume intends to occupy this research space, firstly by reviewing historical and contemporary trends and changes to EMI, and by eliciting the perceptions of a number of applied linguists in a range of Asian universities. These introductory chapters are followed by three case studies exploring the beliefs and practices of EMI lecturers in Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia, and a survey of Malaysian students’ attitudes to key issues relating to medium of instruction. Based on these empirical studies, implications will be drawn with regard to policy, curricula, pedagogical practice, professional development and further research. This book will provide guidance for decision-makers and practitioners for the effective planning and implementation of EMI programmes where English is an additional language for lecturers and students.

For many of us, technology is an essential element of our daily routines and life without it is completely unimaginable. As technology continues to become integrated in all aspects of society, the way that we educate our students must evolve accordingly. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the use of technology on student motivation and achievement in elementary music class. Two classrooms of second grade students at a South Florida school were given pre-tests and post-test to gauge their motivation and note-reading knowledge. One class, the control group, was taught basic note-reading techniques through a traditional teaching approach. A second class, the experimental group, was taught through the use of iPads. Following data analysis, it was determined that the experimental class had a significant (p = .007) increase in student motivation after learning with iPads. The control group's motivation toward music decreased, although the decrease was not significant (p = .476.) Both classes showed a significant improvement in achievement following their note-reading lessons (Experimental: (p = .002); Control: (p =. 005.) The post-test motivation and achievement scores of the two classes were also compared, however no significant difference was found between the two classes for the motivation (p = .11) or achievement (p = .48) tests. Though technology may be a tool useful for motivating some students, the teacher and pedagogical approaches utilized are of utmost importance. Future research might explore an extended number of lessons with the students. Researchers might also investigate the effects of different types of technology on student learning and on students of varying age groups.

The focus of this research study was to implement technology and digital content in a secondary library media center and identify how it affected student reading motivation and material selection. In this study, 16 students were introduced to technology and digital content within the school's media center. Throughout the study, data was collected through a pre and post assessment survey to determine the value that students place on reading and measure their self-concept as a reader. The survey results were analyzed and compared, concluding that utilizing technology and digital content within the school's media center has a positive influence on the students' reading motivation and material selection.

This volume links theoretical and instructional approaches on how reading is motivated and assessed, and examines the interrelationship between reading motivation and achievement among boys and girls in culturally and geographically different settings. Much of the research on children’s reading has focused on cognitive processes; however, reading is an activity that also requires interest and motivation. These attitudes are generally defined as readers’ affect toward reading and their consequence is that children with more positive attitudes are more motivated to read. Taking into account the variability that exists within the notion of gender and age, this volume aims to examine and scrutinize previous research on the topic, as well as test theories on how the different dimensions of reading motivation vary with gender, in relation to cultural issues, motivational constructs, such as engagement and classroom climate, the role of emotions, interests and attitudes towards reading, among others. The book will be of interest to researchers, educators, graduate students, and other professionals working in the area of literacy, reading motivation, reading achievement and gender differences.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the use of technology in a first grade reading workshop. The results of this study will be used to show whether using technology during the independent reading time of the reading workshop, proves to increase student motivation and reading achievement. Participants include first grade students and the length of the study is three months. Student motivation and reading levels will be assessed before and after the study. The students will be taught and given time to explore various websites and applications that can be used for reading, annotating texts, and responding to reading. The technology used in the study specifically incudes electronic texts on iPads or laptops, tools available to students within the electronic texts, and applications for recording reading responses. Through this study conclusions can be made on how to incorporate technology to most effectively increase student reading ability and motivation/engagement in independent reading. Based on the results of this study, future research possibilities may include professional development for teachers on effective forms of technology for reading. In addition, future studies could focus on specific technology to find the most effective ways for students to respond to their reading.
