| Abstract | This mixed-methods study aimed 1) to examine the effects of Digital Literacies on English reading fluency in terms of English reading rate and English reading comprehension for undergraduate students, and 2) to investigate undergraduate students' uses of Digital Literacies. The participants consisted of 60 third-year undergraduate students from the Faculty of Architecture at a public university in Thailand in the 2020 academic year. The instruments were 1) Online English Reading Fluency Test (pretest and posttest), 2) English Reading Fluency Practice: Reading Rate Chart, and 3) Learning Logs. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test and coding analysis.The results demonstrate that 1) the paired sample t-test reveals that students significantly increased their Digital Literacy for English reading fluency at a significant level .05, with a small sized effect of .40 in English reading rate, and a medium sized effect of .71 in English reading comprehension, and 2) students reported positively upon four elements of Digital Literacies, including (1) Communication (2) Information (3) Collaboration, and (4) (Re-) Design. The study explains how each element enhances English reading fluency and offers guidelines for integrating Digital Literacies into English reading instruction. |
